You really can't compare both.

  Um, why not?

    I guess Chrome compresses the HTML and maybe recompresses the images. But what Opera Mini delivers to the user's browser has nothing to do with HTML, is completely stripped from any JS, etc

    You can compare what Chrome does with Opera Turbo feature from Opera Mobile and desktop Opera, but not Opera Mini. It was definitely inspired by experiences from Opera Mini, but it's absolutely not comparable at all. Opera Mini doesn't render webpages, it's all done server side. What's sent to the browser is a pile of highly compressed layers containing text and images and some metadata about what's clickable - and that's it. From HTML, JS and CSS point of view Opera Mini is a highly optimized, non-real time remote desktop client. I've heavily used J2ME Opera Mini on my S40 dumbphones many years ago. Back then it was awesome. Today, when the only way to keep sanity when browsing the web on desktop is using NoScript, I doubt that using it would be as awesome as it was back then, and that's not really Opera Mini fault. After all, when using Opera Mini, you don't expect everything to work and render as it would on desktop browser - as long as content is shown and can be accessed properly, it's fine. However, in a world where crazy people use SPA frameworks for their blogs, it cannot be taken for granted.
