Opera Software, the Norwegian-based browser maker, today announced that some 12.5 million people downloaded Opera 10.10 within a week’s time, shattering previous Opera records and marking an increase of 25 percent when compared to the download rates of Opera 10 launched two months ago. “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, Opera Software. “We believe that, over time, Opera Unite has the power to erase preconceptions of how we access and share information on the Web.” Including the latest downloads, Opera now resides on the desktops of 45 million active Web surfers. That doesn’t include the millions of mobile Opera users surfing the Web from their handheld devices and game consoles.
