Browse the web faster on your iPhone

Opera Mini provides an interesting, free-to-use alternative to Safari for your iPhone. Not only is it a fast and decent browser, but it also makes accessing and managing pages very easy. As a no-logs service, this mobile web browser ensures maximum privacy by protecting and encrypting your online activities. 

Furthermore, Opera Mini revolutionizes the web browsing experience with an exemplary user interface design. Its security measures are top-notch, leveraging the latest web technologies to provide maximum safety and privacy. Plus, built-in Apple Intelligent Tracking Prevention blocks third-party tracking cookies and the Private Browsing Mode ensures your anonymity online.

Lightning fast navigation

The great thing about Opera Mini is the technology it uses to render pages. Opera has its own servers, which are used to compress page data by up to 90% before sending it to your iPhone. You may not notice much of a difference in terms of the time it takes in actually fetching a page but once the page has been fetched, everything displays instantaneously. However, they don’t always render properly.

This web browser makes navigating the vast libraries of the internet easy. For instance, there’s a speed dial-style Start Page that lets you set nine of your favorite sites; these can be accessed with a single tap. It also boasts an easy-to-use tabbed browsing tool for switching between pages. Aside from being designed for one-hand, on-the-go use, it also has a built-in ad blocker that prevents intrusive ads from interrupting your browsing.

There are lots of other time-saving features within it. The app includes address auto-complete, and a Find in Page tool, plus it can remember passwords and integrate with your favorite password manager apps. It also supports Opera Link, which lets you synchronize your bookmarks with your desktop version of Opera, and a Share button for quickly sending links via email, Facebook, X, or Google+. JavaScript compatibility issues are quite rife, though.

Introducing Aria

One of Opera’s latest breakthroughs in web browsing is the introduction of the groundbreaking AI-powered feature, Aria. Bringing a level of ingenuity to your online navigation that surpasses anything you’ve experienced before, Aria the AI learns from your habits, tailoring its performance to suit your online exploration preferences. This leads to a seamless browsing experience, where efficiency is the norm and the possibilities are endless.

No match for Safari

Opera Mini offers fast page loading times and lots of useful web browsing tools. The problem is that some websites target their design solely at Safari and Chrome, so they may not render properly on Opera Mini. It’s not a fully good replacement for Safari, but it is useful to have it installed as a second browser if speed and data usage are an issue for you.

User reviews about Opera Mini

The Best iPhone Browser. With Apple's picky ways when it comes to apps for iPhone, very few browsers are accepted into the app store. Opera is one of those exceptions by claiming it wasn't a browser, it made it into the app store. Opera Mini is a very quick and simple browser that makes it easy to search webpages. It is a very good alternative to the Safari Browser that comes with the iPhone.The downside to Opera Mini is it's not as complete as Opera Mobile. It doesn't play flash videos and it sometimes doesn't run right on certain sites.If you don't like iPhone's Safari browser than Opera is one of the few alternatives and is the best alternative available for iPhone. So try it and see if you like it as much or more than iPhone's stock browser. Pros: Very Fast On Web PagesThe Best Available Alternative To SafariFree Cons: Not As Powerful As Opera MobileDoesn't Play Flash VideosSometimes Does Run Right On Certain Sites.
