Opera Mini: save browser data

Opera Mini is a long-time leader in data-saving apps. It’s a mobile web browser that crunches down webpages to as little as 10% of their original size, before they reach your phone. That means you download fewer megabytes, so that you can save money on your mobile bill and extend the life of your data package. Opera Mini’s built-in data counter shows how many megabytes you’ve downloaded, and how many megabytes you’ve saved thanks to its compression technology.

How to save data: Download Opera Mini from our website or install it from your app store. Under the “O” menu, tap the data-savings summary to change between the different data-savings modes, depending on your needs.

Platforms: Android, iOS, Windows Phone and more

Opera Max: save data across apps

If you’re an apps fan who wants to shrink more than just webpages, the data-management and data-savings app Opera Max lets you compress data by up to 50% across most of the apps on your Android. Opera Max gives you the option you to restrict particular apps from using your mobile data and keep them to Wi-Fi only, plus stop apps from using data in the background.

How to save data: Install Opera Max from Google Play. Open it up to move your apps around based on how you want them to use data and Wi-Fi connections.
