Opera Max Has Been Optimized For Android Tablets

The Opera browser is popular partly because of its data compression and Opera Max is a way to get the benefit of that data compression without being limited to the company’s web browser. Opera Max brings the same data compression capabilities so that users can save bandwidth regardless of the app they’re using. Opera Max was previously optimized only for smartphones but today it has been optimized for Android tablets as well.

The latest Opera Max update brings a tablet layout which uses the additional screen real estate on a tablet to display more information about users’ monitored app usage, settings, and data compression results.

Using the app one can enable Opera Max data compression on the data network, the Wi-Fi connection or both. It’s even possible to blacklist apps so that they can use as much bandwidth as they want and are not subjected to compression at the hands of Opera Max.

Settings also include the ability to block an app from using background data, in that case, the app won’t communicate with its servers when the user is not actively using it, making it a great option to keep background data usage in check.

Opera Max version 1.7.5 is now live and available for download free from the Google Play Store.
