&gt; When you request a page in opera mini, that request is sent to Opera&#x27;s servers. The webpage is rendered on their server [using their rendering engine], and a totally different (OBML) file is sent to your browser, to represent the end result.<p>I Think they either have plans to, or have already transitioned to using webkit&#x2F;blink as the backend for Mini.<p>Never mind that they seem to be doing their level best to kill of the presto-era browsers. This December they shut down their bookmark sync service (Opera Link) after having introduced a new one for their webkit&#x2F;blink based browsers.<p>It sometimes seems like the web is heading for yet another monoculture. Marginally better than the IE era as this time the engine is open source, but a monoculture non the less.
