Opera Mobile For Android Now Supports SPDY And WebSockets, Gets A New Fraud Detection System
Opera just launched the latest version of Opera Mobile for Android, the company’s fully-featured mobile browser. Version 12.10 introduces three major new features to the browser: a new fraud detection system and support for SPDY and WebSockets.
The new fraud detection system will look familiar to Google Chrome users. Opera’s new tool aims to protect you from phishing sites and “tells you when a webpage has been marked as being suspicious or used for illicit activity. If you get a warning, it’s a good idea to think twice about visiting that site.” The company first introduced this feature on the desktop.
The new version of Opera for Android now also supports the WebSocket API, which improves the two-way communication between the browser and server and allows developers to create more responsive and richer mobile web apps.
In addition to this, Opera Mobile 12.10 supports CSS Animations and Flexbox, as well as new HTML5 features like native drag and drop and the Clipboard API.
