Opera Mobile / Opera Mini

Today we released the Opera Mobile 11.5.2 update. It is available now in Android Market and will be available on our servers later today. All users are recommended to update.

This update contains one major change in Opera's behavior. Previously Opera would block pages from redirecting to themselves. This was done to ensure that self-refreshing pages would not incur cost to users. Unfortunately this was causing site compatibility issues so we decided to change it. You can bring the old behavior back if you want by going to opera:config and enabling "Disable Client Refresh To Same Location".

Just over 3 weeks ago we released Opera Mobile 11.5 for Android. The release was the most successful Android Opera Mobile release in history! Millions of downloads, thousands of 5 star ratings.

Now the same great features found in that Android release are now available for Symbian users. Including Data Usage view and a core upgrade to Opera Presto version 2.9.201.

Opera Mobile 11.5 will now show you exactly how much data you have spent and saved. A dedicated page, easily accessible from the help menu inside the Opera Mobile, keeps count of how much data you are spending and saving.

The number of megabytes saved while using the Opera Mobile browser can directly translate into money saved if you are roaming or on a pay-as-you-go plan for data traffic.

For people on capped data plans, this is a handy feature to make sure you don't max out reaching those slow, punishing network speeds you might encounter after using up your allowance.

Did you ever wonder how much data Opera Mini and Opera Mobile saves users? We did too.

So what's new?
