Opera was once just a maker of browsers (a browser that cost money in fact), but more recently it's branching out into other areas. For example, the Opera Max VPN service. Opera Max compresses data before it gets to your phone to lower your usage, and there's a new version out today. Opera Max v2.0 is in the Play Store, but it's got an entirely new listing.

This is actually the third listing for Opera Max. The first one hasn't been updated in a year, but the second was updated just a month ago. Well, now there's v2.0, for whatever reason. It has a similar look to the last version with many of the same UI elements. It sets up a VPN on your phone in seconds and includes reports of how much data you're saving.

Opera Max v2.0 includes a strange "Data Booster" feature that really isn't explained in detail. You are advised to press the boost button repeatedly throughout the day, but what good will that do? You're already connected to the Opera VPN. Maybe it's just a placebo thing, but the app does show you ads after it finishes boosting. Suspicious. We've reached out to Opera to get detail and will update if they respond.
