Opera Mini is a mobile web browser developed by Opera Software, first released in 2005. It is designed for smartphones and feature phones with limited processing power and bandwidth. Opera Mini uses a unique data-saving technology where web pages are compressed on Opera's servers before being sent to the user's device. This reduces data usage and allows for faster browsing, making it particularly popular in regions with slow or expensive internet connections.
Opera Mini offers a simplified user interface and basic features like tabbed browsing, offline browsing, and support for mobile-optimized web pages. It is available on a wide range of devices, including Android, iOS, and even older feature phones. While it does not support as many advanced web technologies as full browsers, Opera Mini remains a popular choice for users seeking a fast and data-efficient browsing experience.
