It’s encouraging to see Opera Mini, a mobile browser, more used than Safari, which has a market share of around 4%.

Thanks for a great post, Daniel! This was really interesting to read!

Mac useage is low in the Ukraine (Linux is more common). Hence, Safari usage will be low. What should be in bright lights is the desktop percentage.
How do we get most places to the surf like the Ukraine?

How does it come that Opera’s usage share is this high in many east-european countries? As far as I know it’s also high for example in Poland and Russia (8% and 11% afaik). Seems a mystery to me…
btw. Does anyone know the usage share of Opera in Norway? 100%?

Mac is expensive, east-european countries are not that rich, but almost everyone has a mobile phone.

Until Safari is available **for the PC** the poll stats dont really mean any thing…
Unless you are **only** talking about MAC software, it is like comparing apples and tomatoes…

Opera4ever!

Illiad : you are right, safari is only for mac.
GPD/capita in Ukrain is $8,397 compared to
$43,574 in norway (about the same in usa).
And mac are not the cheapest computers.

The only thing you can tell from these stats is that most people can not afford to buy a mac in Ukraine. I live in Eastern Europe (not Ukraine) and I haven’t had the chance to see a real mac computer yet.

Living in Kyiv, I saw Mac’s in two places: in one photo lab and in software company which does porting applications from win to mac

illiad: Well IE is only available for Windows.. Should they not be counted then? :-p

Seems like Opera Mini got 100% market share of Mobile browsing…

olli: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_for_Mac
or google ‘IE for MAC’ …
FF: all windows, linux, MAC.. AFAIK
Opera: all windows, linux, MAC, and many others!
Safari: Mac, ?????? - not even linux??
using
Don’t you think the bigger accomplishment is that Opera (desktop)tops Firefox. Almost by double too.
using
The main point I was trying to make with this stat is that Opera Mini, a mobile browser, is beating a desktop browser.
using
IE for Mac has been dead for a year and a half — Microsoft stopped distributing it at the end of 2005 — and it was in a coma for several years before that. I wouldn’t count it as a significant contender in today’s market any more than I’d count Internet Explorer for HP/UX or Solaris.

It just shows that IE cannot survive outside of windows!!!

I use Opera Mini too, on my Smartphone
