Opera Mini for Android received an update today with a bunch of new features in tow, including some that are India-specific.
The biggest new feature though, is the ability to now download videos through the browser. All you have to do is click on the video, which will pop open a menu with the option to save. Then, you can either continue to download the video, or just cancel to stream it in-browser. Of course, this feature only works on websites that don’t have their own media player
In addition to that, Opera Mini also utilises what they call “Video Boost”, claiming that users should be able to stream more smoothly, without having to wait to long for videos to buffer.
Another new feature is an entertainment and a cricket feed on the browser home page. Opera has partnered with Bollywood Hungama and Sportskeeda, delivering live updates right to your browser.
