Keep your browsing secure and anonymous with a quality VPN service. Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) when you're online is becoming increasingly important these days.

Opera Max
Compressing pictures and videos always means a trade-off, but Opera Max makes saving on data pretty painless. There are times when you want — no, you need — to save on data as much as possible. Other times you're fine sucking down the gigabytes just as fast as your operator or ISP can serve them up. And you're the only one who knows what you need when.
