If ordinary opera mini can sell for 1.2 billion dollars, only God knows how much chrome and Mozilla Firefox will sell

Opera has more users, and the users are what determine the value of the app.

So far, opera has been lagging behind with so many features, but I believe that we will start seeing improvements very soon.

opera has bn saving us for a long time now wit proxy cheats but i do agree its bout time dey really upgraded to d competition but dey should try not to mess wit data saving

Please just explain the uniqueness of Mozilla... I honestly do know. I visit playstore to find the millions of download it has and when I download I can't find anything interesting so delete and again I keep telling myself there must be a reason for this millions of download so I re-download only to have it dormant and then re-deleted.
Just what is the selling point.... I'm only begining to tolerate UC otherwise opera that allows me open as many tabs as I want to is still my favorite

Chrome my foot.
That browser is bad news on Mobile. its doesn't actually close, consumes RAM like no mans business and lemme not get started on the data it consumes...even while browsing Facebook. Data Savings mode my foot.

I've got 31 tabs on OperaMini and RAM usage doesn't pass 35MB. You can quit the browser and it shuts down fully.

With Chrome, just 6 tabs is 39MB gone. No option to close the browser so its either you relegate it to background or u force close. Restart phone and its one of the first things to boot up.

Thank you, Chrome cancelled. Abeg explain Mozilla... I use opera and then a bit of UC because I noticed it is easier to download with it

I hope they don't tamper with the features of opera mini especially, the data saving. I prefer opera to surf the net than any other browsers.
Mozilla for me for converting pages to PDF formats while UC browser is for download.

buying a browser that has lost the battle to chrome.

I was going to ask you for the strong points of chrome but somebody already knocked it silly with MB and inability to completely logout of it.

If you know about Mozilla, share please

opera all the way chrome and Uc browser To slow and chrome is a data eater

So True bro

TechPill:
do you think the Chinese company can manage and add more features to Opera?

no, they will just shell $1.2b on it and let it rot away



Nonsense question

TechPill:
do you think the Chinese company can manage and add more features to Opera?

Yes

TechPill:
do you think the Chinese company can manage and add more features to Opera?

Doubt it!

ritababe:



says by who, with their heavy data consumption?

browsers dont eat data, resources you request over the web does.
if a page weighs 10MB, whether you open it in chrome or mozilla or opera,
it will cost you 10MB

you may be able to tell your browser to NOT display images thereby saving data and reducing the quality of content that reaches you.
get to know the basics pls

Chrome and Mozila have already been acquired by Google

upgrade to their interface and user experience. u will hardly ever see someone using d desktop version

tulipsmadra:

What ever they do they shouldn't temper with the data saving feature and don't mess it up with their Chinese site on it home page. One thing am sure of is that they will remove support for some phones like BB OS ( OS 7 and below) and java phones.

those phones are outdated and it's gonna be a good riddance.

lol I'm surprised at your comment. I updated my opera to the latest version and regretted. It can no longer download anything, no option to save pages. Nothing

The Chinese are buying up multinational companies in the western hemisphere. They're acquiring all the 'acquirables'. The same Chinese that some people here mock as not being innovative are taking the world by storm.

I actually like the new version. Click on the + sign in front of the URL space and you'll see "save for offline" among the options.

lofty900:
Mozilla Firefox is the best browser in the world for now. How come nobody ever use the desktop version of Opera only the mobile version? But people always use chrome and Mozilla Firefox both on phone and computers

opera is far better and stable than firefox. i dont think u use opera i use both and i know what am saying.

Chai!!! China made opera, we don finish.

i wonder how many uneducated folks dashed you 4 likes for posting ignorantly.

if you have 31 tabs, what happens at the background is browsers save those data temporarily on physical storage rather than RAM, then loads them to RAM as needed. Every mobile based browser does this, infact it is one of the basic workflow of a mobile app developer.

it is simple logic.

if tab>5, start saving on disk
if tab<=5, rely only on RAM.


when you quit a browser, it shuts down, including chrome.

Incase you don't know, when you request contents from a webpage on mobile, you send along some headers which include specifying the type of compression you support as a browser.
the server tries to send content back to you in that compressed state if it supports it
browsers dont really save MB.

the only mobile platform that has ever done this is the blackberry, they re-route stuff to their servers, their servers compress it and send to their phone, their phone then decompresses it and renders it to the end user.

bunch of uneducated folk on nairaland, get basic education please rather than come here to display your ignorance to the rest of the worl.

what version are you talking about? I have the latest version of opera on my mobile and laptop with those options you are talking about. Opera is the best browser I have come across.

Opera still remains most efficient and cost reduce browser. Good enough the latest android version update wil go a long way to meet chrome and other standard browsers juicy

Each browser opens a web page differently. Either in a mobile or desktop format and also minimized or maximized way. Take for example m.facebook.com it opens differently on chrome and opera and many other site also. Opera by default saves data and compress a site while chrome doesn't. Ucweb depending on your preferences will either reduce the size or max it out for you. So if a site is 10mb on a default (desktop version), opera can reduce it to like 3-5mb and same with ucweb but not on chrome
