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. Opera was initially released in April 1995, making it one of the oldest desktop web browsers still actively developed today. It distinguishes itself from other browsers through its user interface and other features. 7 8 9 Opera is a Chromium -based browser. Opera was founded by two tech whizzes from Norway but is now owned by Kunlun, a China-based consortium. Opera is a multi-platform web browser developed by Opera Software. 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?
