With AI now integrated into its services, it might see more adoption by curious users. Its market share reached about 60 percent in 2022. So, Opera definitely still has things going on for them. That’s something, considering it’s dominated by these familiar names: Who else uses Opera? Let me have a guess: anyone who wants an alternative to same ol’ Google!Īccording to StatCounter, as of January 2023 Opera owns 2.4% of the global browser market share. Opera initially launched as a web browser but now also has a mobile app, a lite sibling called Opera Mini, an AI-powered news app, and even a dedicated crypto browser that went public beta in January. It was sold to Kunlun in 2016 for a staggering $1.2 billion, prompting concerns over privacy issues at the time, reports Reuters. The 2022 Opera stats show that Opera has around 2.26 percent of the browser market share across the world Opera statistics of September 2022 reveal that the market share of the Opera browser has dipped a little in 2022 across the globe. Opera was founded by two tech whizzes from Norway but is now owned by Kunlun, a China-based consortium.
This means it’ll turn 27 this year and it is one of the oldest browsers in the game. The browser is older than I am: it was launched back in April 1995. If you’re a basic pleb who only uses Google, a crash course: it’s a search engine that’s developed by a company called * drum rolls* Opera.
Excited? Opera signals that this will be the start of more developments in the AI space: an executive told The Verge that it is “working on other AI-powered features that ‘augment’ the browsing experience and plans on adding popular AI-generated content services to the sidebar.” WTF Is Opera?
