Mobile browsing started with stock browsers on our old featured phones. Later we got third party browsers like Opera Mini, Bolt and UC.

We are currently in the age of powerful smartphones that are capable of running Web browsers like Chrome, Safari and Mozilla Firefox.

Is usage of Opera Mini going down? Going by data of monthly visitors on my site recently, Chrome has the highest number and Opera Mini seats second. 5 years ago Opera Mini has the highest number and nearly 10x more than the second browser Chrome.

Do you still use Opera Mini? Do you find how it removes fancy animations and other heavy stuff from Web pages you visit on your phone helpful ?

Currently using opera mini...

My best browser for Nairaland actually. Since the site has no fancy designs.

I loved opera so much that I optimized my site to work smoothly on the browser.

Still using Opera mini Less distracting

Team Chrome! Can't settle for less

Be like say them don remove my ban

Opera mini is quite dull for my liking

I love Opera mini, especially the older versions
Very simple layout, though less and less sites support them now.
But as long as nairaland supports it, I'll keep using it.
The UI is old school, sleek and user friendly. No annoying pop up ads and widgets
I have been using opera mini since I bought my first phone (2011)

Phoenix browser all the way

Samsung internet or any chromium based browser for me.

Team google chrome. Opera mini is too childish abeg.

Phoenix browser issa bae

I still use it. I dedicate Opera Mini and Airtel for nairaland. I put Opera app on my home screen so it is just easy navigation... Apart from using it to access Nairaland, I hate it... Chrome better

It's still my Favorite browser till date....especially now that mtn gives us free 50 mb, it also makes downloading easier.

UC turbo all the way!!!

don't say till you die oo. Where is Nokia and Symbian now?

Anyone using opera at this age is far behind since the app suffers when it comes to rendering some high-end websites.

Chrome remains the best, and the synchronization makes it easy to switch between accounts and devices without losing my work.

Team Moxilla firefox

To say the truth, chrome is a powerful browser on its own, chrome is more secured and better for highend tasks, than opera. opera is a mid range web browser just good at optimizing, compressing data, opera saves data

We love Opera

Bolt was a hit back then

Well I prefer uc browser...though...
