A similar but "data leaky". one was UC browser. These two were constantly compared back in the day, their entire selling point was faster downloads over opera mini. I remember doing speed tests with both on my old nokia and Samsung feature phones on 2g networks. I'm extremely grateful these browsers exist otherwise I wouldn't have been browsing zdnet, old techradar, w3schools, phpeasystep, betanews etc. while I was 12. They got me into the world of tech and now I am working in it.

Opera mini did support video playback on some phones especially on YouTube. It opens the phone's inbuilt video player with an RTSP link to the 3gp version of the video. I guess it stopped working when YouTube removed RTSP? Oh that brings a lot of memories about real player which was also available on j2me as well as pc.
