Opera was the most popular browser in Belarus in late 2000s. Happened mostly because of word of mouth and bunch of features that allowed to save data when browsing. Most users at that moment had metered connections like 800 megabytes per month, but up to 100mbit/s or really slow 30kbit/s but unlimited.
- Narishma 3y agoThe current Opera has pretty much nothing to do with the old one you remember.
- pm3003 3y agoOpera had useful data saving features and an efficient compression, which is also why Opera Mini (with the old engine Presto) was very popular on mobile for a long time. I used it on Symbian...
- manojlds 3y agoOpera was the first proper browser for phones. It was super popular in Symbian (Opera for S60 or something) and the features phones (via Opera Mini). It was a sad day when Opera was bought over. Current Opera, like current Nokia, is not the same company.
