Opera Mini was a revolutionary mobile browser from 2005 that used cloud servers to render websites for low-powered phones, reaching 169 million users by 2012. The Java ME version still works today and can be run on modern computers using MicroEmulator.

The browser remains operational from servers in Amsterdam, though its future is uncertain as smartphone adoption has made it largely obsolete.
