The Opera Mini browser seems to have garnered a huge fan base among internet users since its January 2006 worldwide release. We do have statistical evidence on which to prop up that statement.
Opera Software has totted up the number of people served by the Opera Mini browser on July 25 to read at one billion users.
This gives the browser rightful entry into the ‘one billion served per day club’. Opera statistics claim that on July 25, the Opera Mini servers compressed over 11,500 pages per second before delivering content to handsets across the globe.
It’s the browser’s ability to enable quicker web access via data compression that makes it so popular among internet users.
“Crossing one billion pages views in a day is further proof that people desire the best Internet experience, no matter where they live or what device they use,” stated Jon von Tetzchner, co-founder, Opera Software, while remarking on this achievement.
The Opera Mini page view growth line is probably showing huge leaps on the graph with 100 million page views per day in June 2008 and 910 million page views per day on an average day last month. That’s an increase of over 161% as since June 2009.
