Opera has hit a new high note in terms of its Mini browser.
A whopping eighty million users around the globe tuned to the Opera Mini mobile browser in November 2010. That figure represents a nearly 5% increase in usage month-over-month and a substantial 91% increase year-over-year.
Overall, the top ten global mobile websites for November are as follows:
- Google.com
- Facebook.com
- Vkontakte.ru
- Youtube.com
- Odnoklassniki.ru
- Yandex.ru
- Yahoo.com
- My.opera.com
- Mail.ru
- Getjar.com
In the US, Opera Mini users are now averaging over 400 page views per month, which represents better than a 100% increase since November of 2009.
According to the folks at Opera, Apple’s iPhone generated more Opera Mini traffic in the US than any competing handset during the month of November.
“We believe people with access to information lead more social, more informed and more empowered lives,” said Jon von Tetzchner, Co-founder, Opera Software. “Growth in mobile browsing means the Web is pushing beyond its traditional borders. If the first era of the Web was about expanding the capability and content of the Web, the second age is clearly about access. In Opera we believe that access to the Web is a universal right.”
