Opera Software has announced that within one week of its release, more than
12 million people downloaded Opera 10.10 with Opera Unite.
Opera officials said 12.5 million people discovered the power of Opera 10.10
with Opera Unite during the first week after its release. This download rate
shatters previous Opera records and marks an increase of 25 percent when
compared with the download rates of Opera 10, launched two months earlier, the
company said
Opera's support for open Web standards and commitment to speed, performance
and security are the cornerstones of the Opera 10.10 release. Opera 10.10
offers several innovative features, including Opera Unite-a personal Web server
that provides an easier way to share content, such as photos and files. With
Opera Unite, users are finding new ways to listen to music, share their photos
and files, and more, the company said.
"With such remarkable download numbers, I am confident that we truly
appealed to the needs of the Web-using public. Opera 10.10 is visually more
compelling, and technologically speaking, it goes where no browser has gone
before," said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO of
Opera, in a statement. "We believe that, over time, Opera Unite has the power
to erase preconceptions of how we access and share information on the Web."
Opera has about 45 million active desktop users, with millions more using
Opera on various types of devices, including mobile phones, game consoles, TVs
and portable media players, the company said. The browser is developed with the
company's One Web mission in mind, to create a universal Web experience on any
device, anytime, anywhere, Opera officials said.
