Opera has updated its Opera Mini for Android that brings several new features. When users visit social media, MP3, or movie download sites, Opera Mini will automatically scan it for the direct download links under the Extreme Mode. The downloadable content will appear like a delicious buffet menu ready for their selection. This auto scan feature is now available on Facebook, Pagalworld, Tubidy, DJPunjab and a few others. The list will continue growing, says Opera.

It also gets  built-in newsfeed feature, powered by artificial intelligence. It is now available for testing in selected countries, including India. This works by learning about people’s reading habit. The more news you read, the more relevant stories you get.

It also brings compression of saved pages, support for video boost when using Extreme mode, improvements to the download manager UI and several other bug fixes to make it smooth.

Other new Opera Mini features include:

  • Compression of saved pages – Worried about not enough space for offline browsing? Well, now you don’t have to as you can keep more pages for offline uses. Opera Mini’s unique compression technology is now extended to saved page feature so that the size of a page you save will become as little as 10% of their original size. It provides you the essential content by excluding the unwanted frills.
  • Support for video boost when using Extreme mode – Video boost is a compression technology that reduces up to 50% of data consumption when watching the video. You get all the videos that you normally would, but you eat up less data and load video faster. If you’re on the crowded Wi-Fi network, you can turn on extreme mode to speed up slow connections at the coffeehouse and load video faster.
  • Full-menu Facebook Android notification bar- Now Opera Mini is able to provide the Facebook users with super fast access to notifications without the need to open another app. Once Facebook notification bar is activated, simply pull from the top of your Android phone to show a full menu with Facebook notifications.
