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

lofty900: 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 |

Let us create our own browsers and utilities. Seun made Nairaland. He did not complain about electricity or money (Not sure he's related to Dasuki or Jagaban or even Aluko), he simply did it. It's great news for Opera who've been minimalistic in their approach to browsers but it's time for the Nigerian youth to show his/her stuff. You can do 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. |

slightlyMad: 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 |

ritababe: 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 1 Like |

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. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Xionez: 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. 1 Like 1 Share |

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 |

slightlyMad: 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 |
