Hi guys, this post is all about Bypass Opera Mini Countdown Timer
As you already know, Opera mini does not support multiple frames – it uses their public proxy and render websites like screenshots. So, no animation (CSS animation, GIF image animation or any other animation) is supported by Opera Mini. That’s the secret – that’s why this is so fastest browser.
By the way, any countdown timer is also a kind of animation. I bet, you have seen frozen countdown timer or inactive redirect page in Opera Mini before. The solution is to call a JavaScript through Opera Mini address bar. What this does is – when a JavaScript got called from addressbar, it allows you to skip to the next 2-3 or more frames forward. We can use this function for any other Countdown Timer situation like that.
- At first, go to the page where you got stuck at dead Countdown Timer
- Go to the Opera Mini address bar and remove/clear all text
- Then enter the following text and press OK/enter
javascript:
- Voila! Done! It’s nothing but as simple as this…
If the above code is not working, you can try these working alternatives as below. People says, the codes below are Opera Mini built-it, fixed. But I discovered that, any JavaScript through address bar is working to refresh and skip the frame. You can even try javascript:w3epic(); and it’ll work too. I tried Opera Mini 7, Opera Mini 4.2 and its working.
- javascript:alert(showskipad);
- javascript:showSkip();
- javascript:alert(c=0);
- javascript:void(0);
- javascript:refresh;
- javascript:start=download;
Screenshots
After entering one of these to your address bar, you will be taken to the 2-3 or more frames/seconds forward. It means if you have 5 seconds Countdown Timer, you have to enter this twice in your address bar.
I was stuck many times and then I tried this little JavaScript trick with adf.ly, hotfile, 4shared, sourceforge and got success! You can try with different sites, I hope it will work for you.
I know typing this again and again is painful for larger Countdown Timers. So you can add this JavaScript code to your speed dial or bookmark. I suggest to add this to your speed dial. To add this to your speed dial, please follows the steps below –
- Go to Opera Mini Start Page
- Click and hold any speed dial
- Click on a speed dial between 1 to 9
- In address, type the following and press add
javascript:
- Press done! You can also add the other six codes!
Now, remember the speed dial position number. If you saved this to number 1, then to access it just press * (asterisk) once and press 1. The JavaScript function will be called.
Thanks for your time to read this article. If you have any problem, please comment below, I will be back to you.
Thank You!
excellent even works on ios but a little differently though but it works just make sure you only click the auto paste button (the one below the address that appears when you want to paste something)
