Opera Software recently launched Opera Mini 5 beta version. It offers an outstanding new user interface that is a significant improvement over previous versions of Opera Mini. Opera Mini 5 is a thin-client application: when you use it to request a web page (1), that request is sent off to a server-farm (2); a proxy server receives the requested web page (3), renders and reformats it, and then converts it to a light and efficient format developed by Opera called OBML (4). This is then sent to the Opera Mini client (5), which displays it on the phone screen (6).
Opera Mini 5 uses the Presto 2.2 rendering engine, which supports the majority of JavaScript functions, except those that require asynchronous operations. It still lacks the rich content support (Flash, Silverlight etc.)
Opera Mini 5 popular features
Tabbed browsing: Browse several Web sites at the same time. Jump easily from one to another.

Password manager: Log on to your e-mail, social network and other sites with just one click.
