Description

Background

You can configure Opera Mini to render your website on Operas servers and send a static (super small) version to your mobile phones browser. This is really good when you have a slow connection and pay for the amount of data. According to Opera: Mobile internet users in Africa have already saved $500,000,000 over the last 10 months, while using the Opera Mini mobile browser and there are also a large user base in India.

The mobile web has room for improvement to work better and look better in Opera Mini. These are listed as blocking tasks.

The text doesn't fit to in the search field

This was fixed in beta and should be fixed in stable as soon as T134894 is completed.

Delete text in search field

This would need to be fixed in core. http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?search=Foo - I'd suggest raising a bug against core for that.

Search result page

This is T136244 and does seem to have got worse. Can I fold your points into that?

Menu

This looks like a regression. Let's add a new task for that.
