what's up everyone John render from TechnoBuffalo here over the past few weeks I've been looking at alternative browsers on the iOS side to Safari and Chrome which I think a lot of us use take a look at what operas had offer I looked at opera coast and we looked at Opera Mini and a lot of folks wanted to know which one I would use and which one's balance differences was I went through all the comments on them so let me go ahead and tell you what I think is good about them bad about it which one that I would pick and hopefully looking for an alternative browser one that's gonna do something that sort of the big two don't do if one of the operas a shot they're both really really solid alternatives let's start opera coast again if you haven't seen in these videos we'll link them down in my pants region so first I'd loved the UI of it I'm a nut for pre design this one was the prettiest browser that I've used it was really really clean I liked it I was like and a website there was no clutter really on the screen at all they were just three icons and that was it sharing is really important community websites some sharing stuff to the staff I want him to see an article I'm setting except home to my wife sister or whatever same each sharing really really elegant when you hit the share button you almost get a thumbnail of that article as well which I really like just a small sort of token to show if they're really putting a lot of effort to design I like pals interface a lot to like be able to interact with them there's a lot of animations to that I kind of dug let me remove a tile sir pops down from from the top also when you go ahead and put it in a URL I really like when you go ahead and did that pull down new started populate took advantage of a lot of empty space i swiping left to right was enjoyable to go back and forth and pages I have to deal with arrows I like that it's pretty much always private as well as when you delete the tile there all of your browsing history was going to be gone not that I have anything to hide or anything but I just prefer to not have everything be saved and tracked on my phone but all it's not perfect certainly there's three things that could change or be improved or things that you might not like animations considered to a wait time we saw that with iOS of the whole sort of beta eight got launched there were really long animations those sort of got cut down there's also a really big learning curve usually when I pick up and your brother figured out very quickly I'll precocial took me a little bit of time but the more I got to use it certainly the more I appreciate it it also doesn't do much to conserve dad punting to yourself self what browser does things to conserve data and I will tell you which one in just a minute and probably most importantly to a lot of you there isn't an Android equivalent out there quiet Android has its own sort of browser options there are a ton of browser options available but there's not an opera coast version for Google's OS I next we'll talk about Opera Mini there's a lot to like here as well first it's really minimal its stripped-down give you the essence of what a browser supposed to do and because of that it's really easy to learn it's got a few features that I think are just really really useful a fission might be on data limits and you've got a smaller data plan you're worried about going over I've got something called opera turbo what that's gonna do it's gonna actually shave out unnecessary pixels on a website it's gonna cut out things that you don't need while viewing a site and sort of help you save on that and that's just a little bit we're talking 30 40 50 percent of what that website might have used for data it's going to free up for you so it's giant deal and what that does for text you also have video boost that does for video it was a little bit of video fidelity while browsing you know YouTube watching another video it's gonna save you just irid icky done of data if you're on a two gigabyte data plan for example I can go so much farther so that's a huge deal if you're worried about data I like to discover newsfeed feature as well as you sort of swipe over to the right you get news it populates right there as well but like everything things aren't always perfect looking out pretty and nicely designed opera coast was Opera Mini is definitely a slimmed down trimmed version there's endured equivalent though but is a few versions behind four you get on iOS I've had to pick one in fact I have picked one when I go to browse I'm picking coast I like the way it looks I like to you I like you tinged a detail in it I've got a 10 gigabyte plan I'm never even come close to using that so I'm not worried about my data usage I really like the way it looks like a minimal design of it like be able to swipe back and forth to refresh pages but for me it's a personal taste I just appreciate the design of it into it if I was on a lower data plan I want to conserve data I wasn't always on Wi-Fi for example I would use Opera Mini in a heartbeat if you haven't tried it and if you're sort of worried about how much dad you're gonna be using give them both the shot they're both free to download and Vale from the AppStore then you guys watching I hope you enjoyed give a thumbs up for alternative browsers until next time I'm John
