Opera Browsers: Still Kicking with Performance

I have always used Opera browsers in my phone, tablet, and laptop for more than eight years now. The browsers still not failed to give me the satisfaction that I need when it comes to performance and data usage.

On Opera Mini
As you can read from this blog, I use Opera Mini to have free and budget-friendly data usage of internet on my Nokia C3-01 and N73. Since I am always on tight budget and can only afford the MB data plans of the Philippine's telco's Smart and Globe, Opera Mini have let me see more websites in a limited amount of data use because of its webpage compression ability.

I also downloaded the Android version of it for my tablet and it's still the best when it comes to page loading, multi-tabbing and downloading.

Opera Mini is now available for Android, iPhone and symbian phones.

On Opera for Windows
When the Opera browser for Windows updated to version 10, I stopped using it and had not updated the browser until the version 12. I stopped because the homepage loading started to slow down two notches than the older ones. And today, as I was checking my laptop for updatable softwares, I saw Opera and updated it. The homepage loading caught my attention and I can say that it had regained its fast rendering title. The browser still has the speed dial page but it pages can now be stacked in just a single folder/group so you can have more speed dial pages in view. It's like the the category folders in your Android homescreen. It's more organized! It has kept its accelerate option and can speed up page loading in slow network. Now, it has "Discover" button which can let the user read top-quality news and entertainment around the world. And also it has the "Stash" feature which organizes your favorites and saved pages into a simple or sophisticated list.

The new Opera browser version 18.
