Opera Mini Browser Beta is a lightweight app for Android that allows users to explore the internet quickly and efficiently. Favoring simplicity and practicality above everything, the app features a streamlined interface that concentrates most of its features right on the homepage. This results in an intuitive and user-friendly layout that offers immediate access to all the app's main functions, including the ability to search the web, view images and video, browse news, access the Amazon store and scan QR codes.

In addition to a simplified and streamlined interface, Opera Mini Browser Beta has two novel features that are worth looking into. For one, it features a built-in ad blocker that can be configured to work on specific sites according to the user's needs and preferences. Regarding this feature, it should be noted that it's not as effective as specialized as most ad-blockers that you can download from the Android app store. Unfortunately, it does not recognize or block native ads and some forms of pop-ups. However, it is effective enough to make the browsing experience better.

The other new feature that this iteration of the Opera browser has to offer is the ability to create web apps (otherwise known as a home screen shortcut to a particular website). This can be very useful for users with limited storage space as web apps take a lot less space than native apps. Combined with other resource-saving features such as data compression, the possibility to create native apps helps make Opera Mini Browser Beta one of the lightest and simplest apps of its kind.
