Opera Browser | featured news

Some interesting numbers from Norwegian browser company Opera today, as their 'State of Mobile Advertising' looks at impressions and revenue in Q4 2012. Much like that great golfing analogy (driving is for show, but putting what wins you the dough), there is a distinct difference in mobile advertising income and expenditures over the two major platforms. And it points to a healthy ecosystem for developers on iOS devices.

Over one million iPhone users downloaded the Opera browser app in the first 24 hours of its release, the company claims.

Web browser Opera says its downloads in Europe have doubled since Microsoft began offering a choice.

Opera just released the 10.5 beta version of its web browser for Mac computers — the fifth most popular browser on the market. We previously covered the Pre-Alpha version of 10.5, but this beta release is likely far more stable.
