The graph below shows the amazing story of Opera Mini. In January of 2008, Opera Mini users browsed more than 1.8 billion webpages. And as I said before, the mobile Web is alive and kicking.

Since being released two years ago, Opera Mini has grown into the browser of choice for the Web on mobile phones.

With more than 100,000 daily downloads of Opera Mini, I certainly expect this figure to skyrocket over the coming months.

    ~200M (+13%) jump from Dec07 to Jan08, but an even bigger jump of ~320M (+25%) from Nov07 to Dec07! Was there a major Opera Mini push or just a symptom of the holiday season?

    Juba, you could compare it to the amount of traffic we had a year or two ago.

    Juba,
    for a mobile browser, 1.8 billion is quite a lot.
    I believe it is one of the best programs out there. I judge a program by how it compares to the competition on its platform. Looked in this light, Opera mini is so far ahead of its competitors that it may well be the best program now, even after taking KDE, Synaptic, Photoshop and excel into consideration (at least for the general masses).

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
