Opera mini browser for mobiles was already fast with the 4.1 version having most of the best features for mobile users, but now Opera software has upgraded the browser to version 4.2 where there have been many changes made, along with the performance speed-up.

The 4.1 version was 50% faster than the version 4 of the mobile browser, but the page load speed has further increased and a few following features are newly added -

• New addition of skins for personalization of the browser with your own skin.
• Support of mobile video through m.youtube.com making video content available for mobile users.
• Opera Link support for notes, allowing users to sync their notes between the PC and Opera Mini.
• Support to more than 90 languages with addition of new languages in this version upgrade.

Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software says -

With Opera Mini 4.2, we are showing the world that Opera never gets complacent. We will always be improving our product, adding speed, new functionality and features, and ensuring that it is accessible by all. Our support of the Android platform helps fulfill our mission to be available on more platforms, for more devices and reach more users, anywhere in the world.

Opera mini is and will stay as the best browser for mobile phones until Firefox really releases something for mobiles. And the Opera Mini 4.2 has something more awesome than the earlier ones.
