Opera Mini - fast web browser for Android

Used Opera Mini - fast web browser for Android?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffDecember 27, 2025

Opera Mini Browser is everything you'd expect from a browser with the Opera name, even in spite of some hit-or-miss features. It can run neck and neck with the other popular browsers in the Google Play store in terms of speed and performance. If you're still stuck on Android's default browser, give this interesting app a shot.

This is a version of Opera's full browser that has been shrunk down to look good on smartphones and tablets. Opera Mini Browser seems designed for the phone's Portrait mode, which means it will look a little cramped and require extra scrolling on smaller phones. Regardless of the size of your mobile gadget, you'll find tabbed browsing, speed dial, and bookmarks, which all work just as well as they would on a full version of Opera. You can even access Opera's exclusive sync feature to share bookmarks and pages from multiple instances of the browser. If you choose to log in with social networks, the app will let you get and share recommended pages, too. While you can do a lot to change this browser's layout, you can't access a night mode to save battery and eye strain. As far as speed, Opera loaded pages just as quickly as other browsers.

While you might not like the longer page view for all of your browsing, some people will really enjoy it. Either way, Opera Mini Browser is a loaded browser that is worthy of serious acclaim. While it may not be enough to pull you away if you're using Dolphin, Chrome, or Firefox, it will make your jaw drop if you've been using Android's default browser.

Best Android Tablet Browser!!!
EricVonZipperApril 5, 2013
Pros
Very small download on disk, very fast page browsing, renders pages very properly, speed dial, very little battery drain.
Cons
Pretty much happy with this little gem, only complaint is it won't open Terena.org/webcam
Summary
This is the easiest to use, fastest, lightest android browser, and I've tried Chrome, Dolphin, Firefox, Boat. If Opera's Windows browser worked this well, it would blow away the other Window browsers - too bad it doesn't.
LOVE THIS LITTLE BROWSER

Pros
I love the speed dials feature with Opera Mini. It's definitely a speedy one. I have it on my Droid Razr M.
Cons
None as of yet. And I've had it for a couple of weeks.
Summary
I have to say I use Firefox on all my computers. And I did try it on my Droid; but they have a little way to go before Firefox is ready for cell phones. But I do think it's close. As for Opera Mini. This little browser is top notch for cell phones.
Excellent Browser for Android

Pros
Opera Mini browser maximizes browsing experience for Android. With its unique compression technology, it reduces the data usage cost upto 90%.
Cons
Not really a problem of the software, I used on Android mobile and it takes some time for me to get used to.
Summary
Not a modern browser!

Pros
I don't see any pros
Cons
It just does not show some basic pages that Chrome and Safari show on iPhone correctly.
Summary
Best Browser for Droid X
kakarr11August 13, 2011
Pros
Very easy to use and surprisingly functional.The Android version is fast, even with a lousy connection. Never used Opera but it looks and feels familiar. So grateful I found it.
Cons
I use it on a Droid X, an unreliable instrument with little or not support. So far, this is my only issue.
Summary
Opera Mini is a wonderful, smart and fast browser and now I am going to launch Opera on my MacBook Pro. Thanks!
It doesn't Work for Facebook and Youtube

Pros
Thanks to Opera for the browser it is really fast than other browsers and it is really good for organization and for your favorite web sites.
Cons
But for Youtube and Facebook it doesn't really work for Facebook it really gets stucked.
Summary
i doesn't really work like the iBrowser for the iPod Touch 4 the when you go to Youtube it seends you to Youtube Application instead of putting the old Youtube that use the Safari and the iBrowser and in Facebook is kind of complicated it sometimes get stucked but besides all of that it works great.
Very nice and easy to use

blackstrat64November 13, 2010
Pros
None... Used to be a fine browser
Cons
Doesn't work with the Blackberry Bold, trackpad
Summary
if you have a blackberry with the track ball, it's a fine browswer, if not, steer clear. Even with the track pad slowed to it's lowest setting, you can't navigate through Opera Mini... I would have hoped they would have worked on this, but alas... they haven't.
