Opera Mini 5 – Fast web browser for the Droid

by DroidGeek on March 11, 2010

One of the most popular mobile web browser has just released a new version for download. Opera Mini 5 comes out with guns blazing offering some new features you’ll hopefully enjoy. One of the big advantages of Opera Mini 5 over the stock browser that comes with the Motorola Droid is the noticeable speed difference which you can see from this video here. Opera Mini 5 compresses the data before sending it to the phone which helps load web pages much faster. One big suckage to Opera Mini 5 is the lack of multi-touch support so don’t bother pinching the screen its not gonna happen.

Features:

  • Tabbed Browsing – No browser is complete without it
  • Speed Dial – Access your favorite sites quickly
  • Password Manager – Store user names and passwords
  • Opera Link – sync to desktop
  • Download Manager

Download Opera 5 (beta) for free from the Android Market.

@elise use the QR posted above. just use the barcode scanner app. either that or just search opera mini.
also, this browser is fast, and has a better layout (imo) than the android browser. love the tab style also.
