And sure enough, straight after Opera publicised the poll via social media, the votes for Opera began to flood in.Īs of midday in the UK, Opera had raced into the lead. Opera has some 1.7 million fans on Facebook, so it’s really no surprise to see some of them vote for their browser of choice. The guys and gals at Opera tweeted and posted on Facebook, inviting their fans to participate in the poll. Well, we did a little digging around and found that Opera’s marketing department wasn’t resting on its laurels. So, what happened? Had thousands of people suddenly woken up to the realisation that Opera *was* their favourite browser, and that they should vote for it instead of Chrome or Firefox? Impressive for a browser which has a much smaller marketshare than the big players.
The Norwegian browser – which had earlier only been receiving less than two votes every hour suddenly was receiving five votes every minute!
The poll opened on the morning of Monday 3rd September, and saw Chrome and Firefox take an early lead with Internet Explorer, Safari and Opera lagging far far behind.Įverything changed yesterday, however, as Opera surged in its share of the vote. We were interested in discovering which browser our readers would recommend to friends or family who had suffered a computer security problem. An online poll conducted on the Naked Security site has come up with an interesting finding: Opera, a relative minnow in the web browser market, is reckoned to be a more secure browser than the likes of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer.
