Opera today released a beta version of its Opera Mini browser for the Windows platform. Opera Mini for Windows offers many of the app's core features, such as Speed Dial for favorites and easy-to-navigate tabs. Since Opera Mini uses Opera's server-side compression, web sites should load faster of mobile handsets and consume less data. Opera claims its compression can cut web site size down by as much as 90%. The browser offers large buttons, makes it easy to share content to social networks, and maintains users' privacy and security. Opera Mini is ideal for people who have limited data plans. Opera Mini beta for Windows is free to download from the Windows Store.
