Opera Witnesses Unprecedented Download Rate

The new Opera browser has been downloaded by more than three million users. The browser is free and has only been available for two weeks. The average download rate on a daily basis is four times the previous rate achieved before the release of Opera 8.5.

Opera also has built-in voice capabilities and zooming features that help make the Web more accessible to users of all abilities. Opera Software ASA is an industry leader in the development of Web browser technology targeting the desktop, smartphone, PDA, home media and vertical markets. The Opera browser has received international recognition from users, industry experts and media for being faster, smaller, safer and more standards-compliant than other browsers.

Opera`s growth comes as consumers demand greater safety and productivity online. Opera has the strongest security track record of any browser and continuously innovates the browser experience with features such as built-in search bars, a password manager, notes and saved sessions that make surfing easier, faster and more organized.
