Opera Max 3.0 rolls out

Opera Max has been around for a while, having been installed by more than 10,000,000 Google Play users so far. Its latest update is a major one and arrived at the end of last week, bringing the version number to 3.0.31 and adding a few new features to this popular Android app.

According to Sergey Lossev's blog post, "This is a major update with an all new design, optimized for easier use of the powerful data savings and data management tools inside Opera Max." Opera Max 3.0 comes with a feed of contextual cards, thus allowing it to act as a smart assistant. It also reports on external security threats, providing data encryption when connected to a public WiFi network. However, it still focuses on saving data, promising about 50 percent less traffic when always connected to Facebook.

Opera Max 3.0 requires Android 4.4 KitKat or later. This app is free to download and use, currently holding a 4.3 rating on Google Play, after being rated by more than 300,000 users.
