Questions tagged [opera-mini]

Opera Mini is a proxy Web browser including a thin client available on most feature phones and smartphone, and servers doing the hard rendering work.

Opera Mini is a web browser primarily for mobile devices developed by Opera Software ASA.

Opera Mini is a proxy browser. When a user requests a URL, the request is sent to Opera's servers. These servers retrieve the page and convert it to Opera Binary Markup Language (OBML). The OBML image is then sent to the user's device where Opera Mini renders it. All web page parsing, including JavaScript execution, occurs on Opera Mini's servers.

Opera Mini is available for multiple platforms including:

  • J2ME
  • Android
  • iOS
  • Symbian
  • Windows Mobile

As of September 21, 2011, Opera Mini uses version 2.5 of Opera's Presto engine (the latest version of Presto is 2.9).

Opera Mini should not be confused with Opera Mobile, which is a standard mobile device browser.

Questions that are candidates for this tag:

  • Questions about developing web sites that work well for proxy browsers.
  • Questions related specifically to Opera Mini.
