Opera Reaches 100 Million Monthly Active PC Users Amid Strategic Growth
Opera (NASDAQ: OPRA) has announced a significant milestone, with its PC browsers surpassing 100 million monthly active users in October 2026. This represents a 16% year-over-year increase, adding 14 million users over the past twelve months. PC users now constitute more than one-third of Opera's total user base of nearly 290 million across desktop and mobile platforms. The company's growth is driven by a strategic focus on high-value Western markets in Europe and North America, where it competes against pre-installed default browsers through specialized product offerings. Key drivers include gaming-centric features via Opera GX and advanced AI integrations like WebAI and Browser Connector. This expansion marks a transition into a new phase of global market competition focused on user customization and privacy-centric AI capabilities.
