Opera Mini is a mobile web browser made by Opera. It was primarily designed for the Java ME platform, as a low-end sibling for Opera Mobile, but as of 2022[update] only the Android build was still under active development. It had previously been developed for iOS, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows Phone 8.1, BlackBerry, Symbian, and Bada.

Opera Mini was derived from the Opera web browser for personal computers, which has been publicly available since 1996.[13] Opera Mini was originally intended for use on mobile phones not capable of running a conventional Web browser.[14] It was introduced on 10 August 2005, as a pilot project in cooperation with the Norwegian television station TV 2,[15] and only available to TV 2 customers. The beta version was made available in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland on 20 October 2005.[16] After the final version was launched in Germany on 10 November 2005,[17] and quietly released to all countries through the Opera Mini website in December, the browser was officially launched worldwide on 24 January 2006.[18]On 3 May 2006, Opera Mini 2.0 was released. It included new features such as the ability to download files, new custom skins, more search engine options on the built-in search bar, a speed dial option, new search engines, and improved navigation.[19]On 1 November 2006, Opera Mini 3 beta introduced secure browsing, RSS feeds, photo uploading and content folding.[20] Content folding works by folding long lists such as navigation bars into a single line that can be expanded as needed. A second beta was released on 22 November,[21] and on 28 November, the final version of Opera Mini 3 was released.[22]

On 7 November 2007, Opera Mini 4 was released. According to Johan Schn, technical lead of Opera Mini development, the entire code had been rewritten.[23] Opera Mini 4 includes the ability to view web pages similarly to a desktop based browser by introducing Overview and Zoom functions, and a landscape view setting. In Overview mode, the user can scroll a zoomed-out version of certain web pages.[24] Using a built-in pointer, the user can zoom into a portion of the page to provide a clearer view; this is similar to the functionality of Opera's Nintendo-based web browsers. This version also includes the ability to synchronise with Opera on a personal computer.[25][26]Prior to Opera Mini 4, the browser was offered in two editions: Opera Mini Advanced for high-memory MIDP 2 phones, and Opera Mini Basic for low-memory MIDP 1 phones.[27] Opera Mini 4 replaced Opera Mini Advanced.[28] Originally, Google was the default search engine on Opera Mini.[29] On 8 January 2007, Opera Software and Yahoo! announced a partnership to make Yahoo! search the default instead.[30] On 27 February 2008, Opera Software announced that Google would henceforth be the default search engine for Opera Mini and Opera Mobile.A version for the Android operating system was announced on 10 April 2008. Rather than port the code to Android, a wrapper was created to translate Java ME API calls to Android API calls.[31]

On 3 September 2014, Opera started taking registrations for the beta version of Opera Mini for Windows Phone.[38] The browser was released for Windows Phone on 9 September 2014, as a public beta,[39] the first Opera version for Microsoft's mobile platform since the discontinuation of Windows Mobile.

Most Opera Mini versions use only the server-based compression method, with maximal compression but some issues with interactive web apps. Opera Mini can operate in three compression modes: "mini" (or "extreme" on Android versions), "turbo" (or "high" on Android versions) and uncompressed.[5][40] The turbo and mini modes reduce the amount of data transferred, thereby also increasing speed on slower connections.[5]

The functionality of the Mini mode is somewhat different from a conventional Web browser, with the amount of data which has to be transferred much reduced, but with some loss to functionality. Unlike straightforward web browsers, Opera Mini fetches all content through a proxy server, renders it using the Presto layout engine,[5] and reformats web pages into a format more suitable for small screens.[41] A page is compressed, then delivered to the phone in an interpreted markup language called Opera Binary Markup Language (OBML) supported by Opera Mini.[42] According to Opera Software, the data compression makes transfers about two to three times faster[24] and uses less data, and the pre-processing improves the display of web pages not designed for small screens.[43] The turbo mode was added later, and is similar to Mini mode but bypasses compression for interactive functionality, at the expense of less extreme data compression. The turbo and uncompressed modes use the "WebView" on Android and the WebKit layout engine on iOS.[5]

The Java ME and Windows Phone versions only have access to the mini compression mode.[5] Other versions can switch between various modes, gaining functionality at the cost of lower or no compression.[44] Opera Software claims that Opera Mini reduced the amount of data transmitted up to 90% in the mini (extreme) mode; in turbo (high) mode, it reduced amount up to 60%, similar to Google Chrome's Reduced Data mode.[40][45][46]

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.[54] On Opera Mini, before the page is sent to the mobile device, its onLoad events are fired and all scripts are allowed a maximum of two seconds to execute. The setInterval and setTimeout functions are disabled, so scripts designed to wait a certain amount of time before executing will not execute.[55] After the scripts have finished or the timeout is reached, all scripts are stopped and the page is compressed and sent to the mobile device. Once on the device, only a handful of events are allowed to trigger scripts:[55]

If signed into an Opera Account, Saved Bookmarks, Speed Dials, Opened Tabs can be backed up and synchronized between different phones or with the Opera browser on computers, using the "Opera Sync" service, and can be accessed through web interface at Opera synchronization.

Opera Mini relies on data centers processing the Web page before sending it back to the phone in a compressed binary form. Opera Software operates data centers in the United States, Norway, China, Korea, Poland and Iceland.[68][69]

Before I get overloaded with comment: YES I HAVE CLEARED THE DEFAULT FOR THE STOCK BROWSER THEN TRIED CLICKING ON A LINK. And: NO it has not asked me what browser I want to use. IT just opens in stock.

Three weeks ago, Opera submitted the iPhone version of its Opera Mini browser to Apple for approval, and I cheerfully predicted it would show up on the App Store within a couple of weeks. I was off by one week: Mini is now available as a free download.

Millions of people have been using this browser on their mobile devices. I've been running it for years as my general day-to-day browser on my computer using an emulator. This is generally all I use and basically only use the big browsers for media content like video streaming. I've packaged the java version as an sfs-addon (2MB). The package contains the emulator and the browser. It's already setup and ready to use.

How to use:

Load the sfs and run from menu. Menu entry should be in the Internet section. Click Start to open the browser. This is pre-setup so you may need to change the screen size. Easiest way to do this is to right-click the microemulator tab in your taskbar/tray and select to maximize, close the application and restart.

Notes:

Your keyboard and mouse should work as normal for most things like with any other browser however some notable differences: Use the Opera Mini virtual keyboard to type numerals and special characters; to delete typing errors/text use backspace; 8 for quick down scrolling; 2 for quick up scrolling, etc. It's a bit of a learning curve in the beginning but that makes it part of the fun. This is for general browsing, you can't play media. Opera ceased development of the Java version in 2018 (now focusing on Android version, etc.) but it still works well on the Java platform.

This is just a heads-up! While in the past I used an older Opera Mini on my pda, that was 

when Opera Software ASA was an independent Norwegian company. Opera is NO LONGER 

independent, having been bought up by Qihoo 360, a Chinese owned company. The reason 

I point this out, Opera Mini routes all traffic through Opera owned services to compress the 

data, supposedly saving you data on a limited plan. This is similar to the VPN, though the 

VPN is more for shielding you from snooping. Sounds good on paper, and when Opera 

was Norwegian owned I could trust them for privacy. I cannot trust the new Opera, I don't 

support Opera browser any longer.

Each user should be informed prior to utilizing any Opera software in current environment.
