Opera Software gives Opera Mini browser on iOS complete makeover

NORWAY: Introducing Opera Mini 8 - the biggest update for the Opera Mini mobile browser on iPhone and iPad to date. View video here:

Available for free in the Apple App Store today, Opera Mini 8 will get you to anywhere on the web faster, cheaper and with a brand new native UI look for iOS 7.

Opera Mini 8 lets you choose from three different modes of exploring the vast world of the web:

* Opera Mini mode offers huge compression of web traffic, up to 90%, and data savings. In areas with poor coverage and tough network conditions Opera Mini saves both time and money.

* Opera Turbo mode saves slightly less data than Opera Mini mode, but offers better website compatibility, making it the ideal browsing mode for most users.

* Data savings off is a no-compression, straight-to-the-source option, that ensures maximum website compatibility.

You can set the different modes as you see fit, e.g., disabling compression on your workplace's high-speed Wi-Fi, using Opera Turbo with your regular data plan and Opera Mini when traveling abroad. Three options, all in a single web browser, all on your iOS device. Opera Mini has long been a must for people on the go, roaming to distant places of the world, and, with Opera Mini 8, it takes its place as the all-inclusive alternative web browser.
