Today, we launched a new Opera Mini for Android devices 2.3 and higher, with a native look and feel, tailor-made for Android.
To help you quickly jump in to your new Opera Mini browser, here are
some answers to frequently asked questions about the switchover.
How do I upgrade my Opera Mini browser?
To get your hands on your brand new Opera Mini, head on to Google Play Store.
If you wait, you’ll start to see some messages asking you to upgrade
while you browse, so we think it’s best you jump straight in to make
sure you get the best browsing experience!
What will happen to all my saved data?
So long as you’re using the most recent version of Opera Mini
(7.6.5), all your data will be migrated into the new version after start
up. Easy peasy.
You can see which version you have by scrolling to the bottom of the
settings menu. If you upgrade from an older version, you risk losing
some of your data. So, be sure to check!
I accidentally upgraded from an older version of Opera Mini and all my saved data is missing! What can I do?
Fear not! All is not lost. To retrieve your data, go to your Google Play app and tap My Installed Apps.
There you will see you still have access to the original Opera Mini you
were using. You should be prompted to upgrade to the latest version.
Once you have done so, you will be able to switch over to the new Opera
Mini where you will be asked to migrate all your saved data.
I’m using Opera Mini beta, how do I upgrade to the stable version?
At some point your device should notify you that you can upgrade the
app or, better yet, you can jump right in through the app store or download Opera Mini directly from Opera.
What if I don’t want to use this new version? What if my device doesn’t support it?
No worries, you can still download previous versions.
Those running Android versions 2.2 and lower can still download the
previous version of Opera Mini. Although the older versions won’t be
actively developed, we’ll keep making sure they are secure to use for
you.
Of course, if you can upgrade to the latest version, you should check
it out! We think it’s pretty neat and the best way to make sure you’re
getting the best browsing experience.

no way you can white-list domains so remember to toggle it off if you
want to support the site you are visiting.
Remove (almost) All Ads From New Tab Page
By default, Opera Shows you a list of trending news and articles on
your new tab page. However, these are filled with ads and sponsored
content. These consume Bandwidth and may look annoying to you, luckily,
you can turn this off completely and switch to older Speed Dial screen
which shows you a grid of your pinned sites.
Even speed dial occasionally will add links to some sponsored sites, but it is much less distracting than the other arrangement.
To apply this Opera Mini Trick, go to Menu> Settings and then tap on Advance.
On the next screen, Tap on Start Page Content and select Speed Dial Only from the popup.
