After 3 beta release, the Opera Mini team today released Opera Mini 4. Opera Mini 4 contains some pretty monumental changes and improvements over the previous versions of Opera Mini.

For starters, there’s a new rendering mode that shows the entire webpage just like it would be displayed on your computer. Support for Opera Link has also been added to this new release. With Opera Link, you’re able to synchronize and share your bookmarks and Speed Dials with the Opera desktop browser.

A detailed list of changes and improvements can be found on the Opera Mini team blog.

The install size of Opera Mini is still less than 100kb (which is about the size of a webpage).

    I have been using it for a couple of hours, and I can’t find any problems nor issues with it. Feels strange to install something and it just works…

    Funny, I don’t remember that building being there the last time I went up to LA. They’re building them really fast, these days! Odd architecture, though. ;-)

    Seriously, congratulations on the new release!

    Pass on my compliments for all the dedication and hard work that the entire Opera team has put into developing and testing the Opera Mini mobile browser.

    It’s a wonderful product that’s worked for me since day 1, and I’ve been addicted ever since. :)

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
