The number of Opera desktop browser users exceeds 40 million people. Tens of millions surf the Internet using Opera browsers for mobile phones, game consoles, TVs and other devices. The number of downloads of Opera 10 suggests that alternative browsers are recognized by an increasing number of users. It is important to note that many of them have never previously worked with Opera browsers.

“With every new Opera browser, the number of our users around the world is steadily growing. However, the Opera 10 version has broken all previous download records, said Jon von Techner, the head of Opera Software. “Such high popularity means that users have an even stronger argument in favor of Opera. We believe that the main impetus for the transition to Opera 10 is Opera Turbo technology. The concept of speeding up the Internet has become a logical development of the One Web initiative, designed to provide faster, more efficient, universal Internet access anywhere and anytime. ”

The new concept of accelerated loading of web pages, implemented in Opera 10, is focused on the use of low-speed data channels. Such conditions of work on the Internet periodically occur in many of us, for example, in hotels, airports, in areas with limited access to the connection. Opera 10 with Opera Turbo technology is designed to simplify the work of users facing slow or congested access networks.
