Over 1 billion webpages viewed by Opera Mini users each month (graph)

Following up on the increase in Opera Mini’s popularity (now at 0.66% of the entire browser market share). Here’s a graph showing the number of monthly webpages Opera Mini users have viewed.

Since the launch of Opera Mini in 2006, over 11 billion webpages were browsed on this little browser by our users.

The Opera Mini browser works with a server on the back-end, which pre-processes, compresses, and formats the webpage to fit the screens size of the phone.

    I like images like that ;)

    Well, a jump from 0,41% market share in October to 0,66% in November equals 60% growth… So what’s the November number for page views ?… 1 700 000 000 ?

    Congrats! I really like Opera mini, and it has infact been a saviour for me for three weeks last month when my computer went away for repairs. Nice information, but I think this also shows that hitslink information on market share is not accurate (Opera mini increased 4 fold according to them from April onwards, but it was more like 50% according to your own stats).
    I nreally hope you could give more stats, like Opera usage on Linux, on Mac and compare them on Windows.I think you have missed one thing, the usage of Opera on Linux may be as high as 12% (according to the Linux World survey). I think this is as creditable anachievement as Firefox attaining 15% share on Windows, just because the competition is from a much better default.

    I unfortunately don’t have a phone to use the Opera Mini Browser, but a Friend of mine has one with an Internet Flatrate and he uses it all the time in classes, this really is a great software!

About Opera


Q: What is Opera?
A: Opera is one of the most powerful Web browsers around. A Web browser is the program that allows you to view Web pages. Opera is well known for innovation for PC browsers and bringing the full web to mobile phones and devices.

Q: Is Opera free?
A: Absolutely free.

Q: Why should I download a browser? Doesn't my computer already come with one for free?
A: It's about getting more out of the time you spend on the internet. Opera is designed to be much faster than these browsers and gives you powerful features that the default browser lacks. Default browsers like Internet Explorer are also more likely to be subjected to dangerous software such as viruses and spyware.

Q: Will Opera keep me safe from fraudulent websites and malicious hackers?
A: According to Secunia, a respected firm that tracks security in browsers, Opera has the best reputation and track record when it comes to browser security. Keeping our users safe from security vulnerabilities, fraudulent websites, and malicious hackers is a top priority for Opera. Opera is maintained by hundreds of engineers, developers and security experts who are constantly looking to make the browser even safer.

Q: Doesn't Opera copy all of their features from other browsers?
A: Absolutely not. In fact, many of the features that are popular in other browsers today were invented and pioneered by Opera a long time ago. Opera invented the precursor to tabs (in 1994), Page Zoom (1994), was the first browser to block pop-up ads (2000), first to add a Search field in the browser toolbar (2000), Sessions (1996), deleting private data (2000), Mouse Gestures (2000), User JavaScript (2005), BitTorrent support (2005), Widgets (2006), Speed Dial (2007), and much more.

Q: Does Opera support extensions, such as those found in Firefox?
A: Much of the functionality provided through Firefox extensions is already built directly into Opera, so you don't have to download additional extensions in Opera. In addition, Opera is highly customizable and supports all standard plug-ins.

Q: Can I also use Opera on my mobile phone?
A: Yes. And your Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS or almost any connected device and mobile phones. Opera Mobile oftens comes preinstalled from the manufacturers, but if it doesn't you can install Opera Mini which runs on nearly all phones.

Q: This all sounds great, so how do I download Opera?
A: -- Opera on your computer
-- Opera Mini on your phone
-- Opera Mobile on your phone
