About Opera Mini & report methodology
Opera Mini’s compression technology renders webpages on Opera’s servers before displaying them on a mobile device, reducing data transfers to as little as 10% of the original webpage size. That means quicker page downloads and reduced phone bills for users. Features such as the Smart Page, which provides the latest notifications from social networks and information from news and preferred sites, Speed Dial, password manager and the most advanced download manager are popular among users. Opera Mini is available as a free download from m.opera.com.
Information contained in this report is based on aggregated information obtained from Opera Mini servers. The security and privacy of people who use Opera Mini is of paramount importance, and we safeguard the trust they give us.
Due to the explicit and potentially offensive nature of their content, adult-only sites have been excluded from our analysis.
The survey mentioned in the 1st paragraph of this press release was conducted through the Start Page of Opera Mini. The link to survey questionnaire was shared with all users in Nepal.
