Opera Mini 4 Final

3 x mini opera threads in a couple of weeks.

Anyway, good to see Opera continuing to rule the browser world.

No1. in both PC and Mobile.

Says who? Me, thats who.:D
 
Question: Does it support SSL? Everytime I visit a https site the browser informs me that it is not secure, not sure if it's because of my phone or the browser lacking said functionality, that said I haven't upgraded in a while and I'm still running Opera Mini v3.0.6540
 
Guys,

Opera Mini is really nice, but there's a major security/privacy concern.

http://www.operamini.com/help/faq/#security

Q: Is there any end-to-end security between my handset and — for example — paypal.com or my bank?

A: No. If you need full end-to-end encryption, you should use a full Web browser such as Opera Mobile.

Opera Mini uses a transcoder server to translate HTML/CSS/JavaScript into a more compact format. It will also shrink any images to fit the screen of your handset. This translation step makes Opera Mini fast, small, and also very cheap to use. To be able to do this translation, the Opera Mini server needs to have access to the unencrypted version of the Web page. Therefore no end-to-end encryption between the client and the remote Web server is possible.

Q: Can Opera Software see my passwords and credit card numbers in clear text? What is the encryption good for then?

A: The encryption is introduced to protect the communication from any third party between the client (the browser on your handset) and the Opera Mini transcoder server. If you do not trust Opera Software, make sure you do not use our application to enter any kind of sensitive information.

Not to be confused with Opera Mobile
 
*sigh* ok from this I can clearly tell that ssl will in all likely hood never be properly supported.
 
It will be one Opera Mobile, the way I understood it (just skimmed over it quickly).

An interesting side note. I noticed when I set up my Nokia 6300 for IMAP, it refuses to connect unless the certficate matches the hostname I put in. I had a self-signed cert on my server initially, but got a proper on in the meantime, and just replaced it without updating my phone (the hostname changed), and my IMAP stopped working. So there's some good checking going on.
 
still doesnt work :(

delete.
