Opera has until now been known as “the third browser” on Windows. It has
achieved this position with limited expenditures on marketing, only relying
on enthusiastic users and journalists spreading the word. Opera’s small
size, low resource consumption and support for standards positions it in the rapidly expanding Internet device market. In the last
year the company has raised capital, and added personnel in marketing,
sales, and R&D. Apart from Linux and Windows, Opera also develops browsers
for EPOC, Mac, and BeOS platforms.
Opera Software AS is a developer of Web browsers
