Great articles again this month, thank you.
I was just reading the article “How safe is your mobile browser?”.
Just wondering about the comment regarding the future of the Opera browser in Africa. When countries catch up in terms of mobile hardware and network infrastructure, won’t they still use the Opera mini browser due to the cost advantages that come with it? Opera is popular World-wide, which I understood was down to data compression and the benefits that come along with that – i.e. wider accessibility and lower costs.
I guess the simple answer is to continue to test on the full range of browsers.
Thanks again!
