Opera Mini for Android

Opera Mini is one of the few applications on Android that predate the existence of Android itself. The web browser got its start on Java ME-compatible basic phones, and was later ported to BlackBerry, Symbian, Windows Phone, and eventually iOS and Android. Now the app has passed a major milestone on Google's smartphone platform: 500 million installations.

Opera Mini is the browser to get if you live in a region with poor connectivity or expensive data plans. It's lightweight, passes all internet traffic through its own servers, strips all unnecessary things to make webpages smaller, and saves up to 90% of data. The browser also comes with a built-in ad blocker and an offline file-sharing tool. You can use the file-sharing tool to share files with friends and family at high speeds.

In addition, Opera Mini packs a media downloader that automatically highlights all of the downloadable music or video files on a webpage and can download them in the background. The browser is mainly popular in African and Asian markets.

Opera Mini provides a Facebook notification bar, partial ad blocking, and many other features. Opera's latest browser Opera Touch, provides desktop syncing and other powerful features. Opera also gives a built-in free VPN that gives you a virtual IP address that protects your location tracking.
