That's Opera Mobile, the mobile browser in pre-smartphone era. The desktop version is a different product that works just like any other browser. It used to be the "fastest", like chrome is "fast" today, but I believe it has been surpassed by Chrome in this regard.


EDIT: Someone else also pointed this. Apologies for multiple posting.

No. Opera Turbo was and is still a very desktop feature, and it does significantly speeds the browsing experience. They have moved this convenience/feature over to their mobile offerings.

Opera Mini is the pre-smartphone browser (Very good IMO)

Opera Mobile is their Android offering (Very good IMO)


You mean Opera Mini, Opera Mobile is a regular mobile web browser, just as the default Android browser etc.


I stand corrected.


I believe aioprisan was referring to the Opera Turbo feature that was introduced to the desktop version of Opera a while back.


Forgot about that thing, I stand corrected.


Opera Mobile is still my primary browser on my iPhone. It is a good[1] browser and fast on 3G.

1] If you don't mind your traffic going through Opera.


There are no Opera Mobile for iPhone, only Opera Mini.
