Since it's release only seven months ago, opera's minibrowser for mobile devices has loaded and displayed more than one billion web pages, according to a press release put out by the company.

The most popular sites are Google search, community and dating sites, e-mail and domains for more grown-up entertainment. The little browser has been embraced by more than five million active users worldwide, and is increasingly pre-installed on mobile phones from leading operators and mobile phone manufacturers across the globe.

The country with the highest Opera mini usage is Russia, followed by the US and India. Opera's mini browser is becoming something of a standard in mobile devices, with perhaps the most high profile installation being a dedicated version developed for the Nintendo DS handheld gaming console, closely followed by T-Mobile's decision to make Opera Mini the default browser for it's Web'n'Walk handsets.

Interesting where did they get statistics about 1 billion pages? Does Opera send any information when we open pages to it's company?

Response from: J Car (08/10/06 2:39pm)

Jac, it seems that Opera uses it's servers to process pages to adopt them for mobile phones. That's how this statistics is get.

Response from: Lord (08/11/06 2:06am)

Opera Mini uses a remote server to pre-process Web pages before sending them to your phone. Web content is optimized for your device, ensuring fast browsing and a great user experience.

That sounds like a really big number - until you establish a frame of reference. Here's an example: customers on the O2 cellular network in the UK alone generate over 1 billion page impressions every month.

Opera Mini's stats are impressive because a billion is a big and impressive sounding number.
