One thing worth noting is that Opera Mini doesn't always render pages correctly, and many users have pointed to examples of sites not functioning as fully as they do in Safari. Opera Mini boasts long-click menus that allow you to quickly perform actions such as opening a link in a new tab, editing the Start Page and selecting text, just by holding your finger down on the screen. Opera Mini has the ability to open links as tabs in the background. Unlike Safari, Opera Mini doesn't reload an open page every time you go back to it. You can simply swipe through to the one you want to show then tap to open it. Tap the Tabs icon and you'll get a dock with thumbnails of each page you have open. Plus iPad users can now enjoy Slide Over and Split Screen support on compatible devices (iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad Mini 2, or later). Zooming and panning is much smoother now.

Navigating web pages with Opera Mini is a joyous process, especially since the latest version corrected the horrid zoom of past releases. This syncing even extends to open tabs, meaning that it is possible to start browsing on your iPhone while on the move and then continue the same session on your desktop machine when you get home. With a free Opera account you can sign in and sync your bookmarks across devices. Like its competition, Opera features bookmark synchronization. It also comes with support for Opera Link, which lets you synchronize your bookmarks with your desktop version of Opera, and a Share button for quickly sending links via email, Facebook, Twitter or Google+. The app includes address auto-complete, a Find in Page tool, plus it can remember passwords and integrate with your favorite password manager apps. There are lots of other time-saving features within Opera Mini for iPhone. Opera Mini boasts an easy-to-use tabbed browsing tool for switching between pages. For instance, there's a speed dial-style Start Page that lets you program nine of your favorite sites that can be launched with a single tap. Opera Mini makes navigating the Web easy. You may not notice much of a difference in terms of the time it takes to actually fetch a page but once the page has been served everything displays instantaneously, where Safari often takes time to load all the various page elements. Opera has its own servers, which are used to compress page data by up to 90% before sending it to your iPhone.


The great thing about Opera Mini is the technology it uses to render pages. Not only is it a faster browser, but it makes accessing and managing pages very easy. Opera Mini provides an interesting alternative to Safari on your iPhone or iPad. Browse the web faster on your iPhone or iPad
