Opera has just released updates to their Android applications – Opera Mobile 11.5 and Opera Mini 6.5 are now available. This release was unorthodox – they point everyone to m.opera.com/press to download both browsers. No changelog to speak of, either, so you’ll be taking a shot in the dark by downloading this. If you’re feeling uneasy, just wait until the market release and a changelog. Click the link above to get started. [Twitter]
Got to say, if Opera Mobile had a way to lock orientation and there were more mobile sites that worked well if with it, it would be my favorite browser.
I never really understood the draw to this browser.
It’s the fastest and safest at least.
It’s way better than Firefox. I cannot figure out why Mozilla can do such a good job with a desktop browser and drop the ball entirely with the mobile version.
Here’s to hoping the stock android browser is improved with ICS. That, or they introduce Chrome mobile.
Firefox is a great browser, but in any iteration, it’s a memory hog, which is why it sucks on a mobile platform.
babadus.On Opera Mini the draw for me is SPEED and also Opera’s compression utilizes less data (with all the data caps these days, it’s useful.)
