Opera Mini 4 Final Released
Seems that Opera Mini 4 Final was just released. Isn’t it too early to release the final version of it? You may check it yourself by downloading it. That’s what I am trying to do now (107 KB), it’s been the 5th time and I still do get “Error: Connection to server lost” while downloading.
Anyway, Opera Mini 4 introduces lots of new features (Opera Link, Mouse Cursor, Start Points and more) which give you everything or at least most of the things which you would like to have in the mobile web browser.

Opera Mini Live Demo
I’ve missed “Opera Mini vs. iPhone” video in the home page, where is it?
UPDATE: Peter Bortas from Opera contacted me regarding downloading issue, and told that they have fixed some problems and it should be working fine now.

2007 October Browsers Market Share Results
New month and new market share results. You may check September results here.
Let’s begin with Internet Explorer. This month it slightly gained 0.01% of the market share and reached 77.87% from 77.86%.
Firefox lost some market share this month and felt from 14.88% to 14.85% (0.03% decrease).
Not so good month for Safari as well. As Firefox, it lost some market share too, from 5.07% to 5.05% (0.02% decrease).
During the previous 4 months, Opera was losing market share all the time. However, this time they have nicely increased it, from 0.87% to 0.99% (0.12% increase).
Netscape had a huge drop in October, its market share felt from 0.72% to 0.64% (0.08% decrease).
Opera Mini market share gets stronger with every month, this time it increased it from 0.39% to 0.41% (0.02% increase).
Here’s a graph of current browsers market share. Thanks to HitsLink.

Opera Renews Its Deal With Google
Google is default search engine integrated to the Opera desktop browser and will stay there for at least 2 years (that’s then this deal expires) or more.
That means profit for both, Google and Opera.
Google pays ~80% (77% in Q3) of each click value to its publishers. Not really sure about Opera, but that should be more than 80% I guess.

Opera 9.5 Beta Released
It’s here, first Opera 9.5 Beta release. It’s been a long way for it to reach this, beta stage, hundreds of bug fixes, various improvements and lots of testing. You can find all the changes here:
Changelog for Windows
Changelog for Mac
Changelog for UNIX
I kinda like this quote from their web page:
the Opera Web browser is over 30% faster than IE, and faster and more secure than Firefox. Recent benchmarks show that Opera even exceeds the speed of Firefox with multiple tabs opened. Opera delivers robust security and a far-richer feature set than any other Web browser and it’s free.
Similar to Safari’s “browsers comparison”, just bit more sophisticated.
