4+ Million Downloads, 20 Million Users

Barely five days since the launch of Opera 9.5, the new release has already seen 4.7 million downloads. On average, that’s nearly a million downloads each day.

New usage figures are out as well, and they look just as good, with more than 20 million users running the desktop browser, and 12 million running Opera Mini. That’s twice the number of users they had when Opera 9.0 appeared two years ago.

To put these numbers in perspective:

• Nearly one-fourth of Opera users downloaded the new release within the first five days.
• Opera Mini has more than half as many users as Opera Desktop.
• More people use Opera Desktop each month than live in the state of New York (2006 population estimate).
• More people use Opera Mini each month than live in Greece (2002 population estimates).
