Nearly 2 million Opera 10 downloads the first day

September 2, 2009 · by Haavard

Nearly 2 million downloads on the first day of Opera 10 is a nice increase from the nearly 600 000 downloads of Opera 9 in 2006. While it might not be much compared to other browsers with much bigger and wider distribution channels, it clearly shows a decent level of interest for Opera 10.

The comments I have seen on various sites about Opera 10 mostly seem positive as well. A lot of people seem to be switching to Opera now.

Let's hope we can get Carakan, 3D accelerated Vega, and so on into public Opera builds soon-ish (not necessarily this year, but you never know). If you think Opera 10 is fast, imagine what a brand new JavaScript engine and accelerated graphics can do for you...

Very few of the old browser .. Number of Internet users are now about 2 billion ..
Many Internet surfers in the world do not use Opera for the failure to find their own language within the language adopted in the Opera browser .. As an example of the Arabic language! Where is this browser? I know a lot of users who have moved away from the Opera browser for that reason.

...which is why my use of stable Opera builds amounts to about 1%. Bring on the next snapshot!
