Still going strong and green

Opera at green pastures

Solid growth in 2009

Since Opera's a company on the Norwegian Stock Exchange we deliver results every quarter. These financial reports can always be read on Opera.com. Some of the numbers might not be interesting at all, but did you know that in July 2009 Opera Mini reached 29,1 million monthly users? Thats up 145% since last year. :bigeyes:

Even before Opera 10 is out we have a 65% user growth compared to last year? Opera Software now consists of more than 700 employees up from about 500 the previous year.

What does these results mean for us, who are using the prodcuts? Well, the more $$$ Opera gets, the more they can spend on producing and developing better products!

At the heart of it all, we got you who make it possible.

    Great to hear!

    Is the 65% userbase growth on the Desktop Opera? If so, WOW.

    Although, I'll note here that many devs and designers I've known for a while are starting to use Opera more and more. They are coming out of the closet, so to speak :bigsmile:

    I wanted to invest in Opera years ago and never did. I wish it was easier to invest in a company than it actually is.

    Premium Support isn't there to make money. It's just around because some people really, really want personal support. But we would like to close down Premium Support, and move everything over to some sort of support forum setup.
