The big new feature of the impending Opera Mini beta; What’s your guess?

Published June 7th, 2007 11:32 PM EDT By Daniel Goldman

Over at the Opera Mini team blog there’s an interesting contest going on where they’re asking users to take a stab at guessing the big new feature that will come with the new Opera Mini beta, codenamed ‘Dimension’.

I’ve been using the new Opera Mini beta for sometime already, so I guess this contest is not really for me.

What’s your guess? Be creative. Let’s see if you can think like the Opera Mini team (who came up with this grand new feature idea a long time ago).

    Just like with #6, why is Opera Mini 3 always referred to as “Opera Mini 8.01″ in the browser string? Anyone?

    I think these guesses are on the right track…

    From an earlier post on Operawatch ;)

    And when it comes to the slightly, further into the future [plans], we’re adding the capability to synchronize things between the different offerings, whether you’re using Opera on the mobile or the desktop and the like, which is going to make the experience of utilizing the internet across platforms seamless. And I think that’s a great thing and something to be excited about.

    Some sort of synchronization, but not just bookmarks. Settings, maybe. And notes and email. Google Jr.

About Opera


Q: What is Opera?
A: Opera is one of the most powerful Web browsers around. A Web browser is the program that allows you to view Web pages. Opera is well known for innovation for PC browsers and bringing the full web to mobile phones and devices.

Q: Is Opera free?
A: Absolutely free.

Q: Why should I download a browser? Doesn't my computer already come with one for free?
A: It's about getting more out of the time you spend on the internet. Opera is designed to be much faster than these browsers and gives you powerful features that the default browser lacks. Default browsers like Internet Explorer are also more likely to be subjected to dangerous software such as viruses and spyware.

Q: Will Opera keep me safe from fraudulent websites and malicious hackers?
A: According to Secunia, a respected firm that tracks security in browsers, Opera has the best reputation and track record when it comes to browser security. Keeping our users safe from security vulnerabilities, fraudulent websites, and malicious hackers is a top priority for Opera. Opera is maintained by hundreds of engineers, developers and security experts who are constantly looking to make the browser even safer.

Q: Doesn't Opera copy all of their features from other browsers?
A: Absolutely not. In fact, many of the features that are popular in other browsers today were invented and pioneered by Opera a long time ago. Opera invented the precursor to tabs (in 1994), Page Zoom (1994), was the first browser to block pop-up ads (2000), first to add a Search field in the browser toolbar (2000), Sessions (1996), deleting private data (2000), Mouse Gestures (2000), User JavaScript (2005), BitTorrent support (2005), Widgets (2006), Speed Dial (2007), and much more.

Q: Does Opera support extensions, such as those found in Firefox?
A: Much of the functionality provided through Firefox extensions is already built directly into Opera, so you don't have to download additional extensions in Opera. In addition, Opera is highly customizable and supports all standard plug-ins.

Q: Can I also use Opera on my mobile phone?
A: Yes. And your Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS or almost any connected device and mobile phones. Opera Mobile oftens comes preinstalled from the manufacturers, but if it doesn't you can install Opera Mini which runs on nearly all phones.

Q: This all sounds great, so how do I download Opera?
A: -- Opera on your computer
-- Opera Mini on your phone
-- Opera Mobile on your phone
