Opera Mini Continues Its Path for Global Domination

opera-stormOpera Mini has become one of the most popular mobile web browsers, with a solid product that keeps getting better over time. Recent usage figures released give an indication of just far and wide Opera Mini has spread globally.

In March 2009, more than 23 million people used Opera Mini to access the web from phones and they viewed more than 8.6 billion pages. The folks at Opera state that those 8.6 billion pages consisted of over 148 million MB of data served. That’s a lot of web content by any standard but if you take into account that Opera Mini pages are compressed on the servers before getting pushed down to the phone, sometimes as much as 90 percent, that content represents the equivalent of 1.4 PB (1,400 terabytes) of data. That’s a lot of honking data and in just one month, too.
