Opera Mini
Opera Mini is a web browser designed primarily for mobile phones,smartphones and personal digital assistants. Until version 4 it used theJava ME platform, requiring the mobile device to run Java ME applications. From version 5 it is also available as a native application for Android, bada, iOS, Symbian OS, and Windows Mobile. Opera Mini is offered free of charge, supported mainly through deals with mobile operators to have Opera Mini pre-installed in phones and other sources of revenue such as search advertising deals, licensingand paid bookmarks and Speed Dial placement.
Origin
Opera Mini was derived from the Opera web browser for personal computers, which has been publicly available since 1996. Opera Mini was originally intended for use on mobile phones not capable of running a conventional Web browser. It was introduced on August 10, 2005 as a pilot project in cooperation with the Norwegian television station TV 2and only available to TV 2 customers.
Complex script rendering
Opera Mini can send content in bitmap image form if a font required is not available on the device, which is useful for indicscripts. Hindi and a few other non-Latin character sets are supported.
JavaScript support
When browsing the Web in Opera Mini mode, JavaScript is processed by the proxy server, and is merely rendered on the device. This limits interactivity. Scripts cannot be run in the background on the device. If a script is paused (on the server), the browser must communicate with the server to unpause it. JavaScript will only run for a couple of seconds on the Mini server before pausing, due to resource constraints.
Browsing tools
Opera Mini has a search bar capable of using several pre-configured search engines the user can add more search engines. The default search engines are Google and Wikipedia.
Opera Mini supports shortcut keys, skinsand a web feed aggregatorIt can save bookmarks, download files, save web pages for offline reading, and it remembers the user’s browsing history.[
Since the launch of Opera Mobile Store in March 2011Speed Dial of Opera Mini displays a shortcut to Opera’s ownmobile applications store.
Privacy and security
Opera Mini, since 3.0 Advanced, encrypts the connection between the mobile device and the proxy server for privacy and security. The encryption key is obtained on the first start by requesting that the user press random keys a certain number of times. Opera Mini 3.0 Basic does not support encryption.
