What’s new in Opera Mini 4.2 beta?
Change log
Skins
Personalize Opera Mini by choosing a new colorful skin. We have reintroduced the popular skinning feature from Opera Mini 3.
Performance
Opera Mini 4.2 can use our newly established server park in the US. This means significantly faster page downloads for our users in the Americas and Asia-Pacific region. Users in the rest of the world will also experience faster page downloads since we’ve reduced the load on our other servers.
Video
We are working to make video content available on more phones through Opera Mini. If you have a new Sony Ericsson or Nokia phone, the chance is high that you can take Opera Mini for a spin on m.youtube.com.
Sync your Notes
The handy Notes functionality from the Opera Desktop Web browser just got more portable through Opera Link. All of your notes are available in Opera Mini directly from the Bookmarks menu.

When surfing some of the webpages, you may notice there is an icon on the left side of the address.
Icon on Google.com
Icon on Microsoft.com
Webpage without an icon.
Website icon works on most of the browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and etc).
If you wish to add an icon to your website, add the following HTML codes to your website between <head> and </head> section:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/myicon.ico">
Assume that “/myicon.ico” is where you uploaded the icon.
For example
<html>
<head>
<title>Title of the page</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/myicon.ico">
</head>
<body>
Hello World!
</body>
</html>
You can use IcoFX or other Icon Editors to make your icon.
It is recommended you use an image with 16 colors or 256 colors and save the image file as .ico.
Your icon size should be 16×16 pixels.
Enjoy!
