Opera Mini is still blooming useful... uses server side compression (goes through a proxy Opera control) that can shrink pages by up to 70% apparently.
Not what you'd want as your only browser (especially for the privacy minded), but extremely useful if you just want to look something up without rinsing through data allowance for pointless graphics, or where your connection is dodgy. Also seems to be very economical with RAM (I assume that's what it is, anyway) rendering pages that crash other browsers on low resource devices.
Hope they keep it running.
