An Opera of Features

There is a particular reason that the app has over 100 million downloads on the Play Store. Here are some of them:

Ask Before Downloading

By default, Opera Mini will prompt for your permission before starting a download. If you want to remove that prompt whenever you click on a download link, then flick off the Ask before downloading option in the Download settings.

Concurrent Downloads

Opera Mini is a veteran of a browser, so the option to download multiple files at ones is only a natural trait of it. However, if you think that multiple downloads are slowing down the browsing speed on your device, then you can change the number of downloads by clicking on Concurrent downloads in Download settings. There, you can choose the number of concurrent downloads from one to unlimited. Ah, could there be a better way to exploit the unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi data?
