Opera Max saves data on YouTube and Netflix

by John_A

Until now, one of the limitations with the Opera Max Android app is that it doesn’t compress encrypted connections, which is probably a good thing except that many video platforms use HTTPS. That’s no longer an issue with the software’s latest release, which can now compress YouTube and Netflix video streams over HTTPS “without any significant loss in quality.” This means there’s less buffer time, and you can binge-watch more viral clips within the same data allowance. But Opera isn’t stopping there, as it’s already working on bringing more secured video services and social apps — including Facebook and Snapchat — on board, so stay tuned.
