Opera Software ASA is an industry leader in the development of Web browsers for the desktop and device markets. The Opera browser has received international recognition from end-users and the industry press for being faster, smaller and more standards-compliant than other browsers, and it has gathered a cult following on the net.
Opera has proved itself faster than the competition in magazine tests for home users. Opera is significantly faster on computers with lower modem speeds and weaker system resources. And these are also the types of computers that many home users are equipped with today. It may be more difficult to notice the difference if you are running a machine with the latest in processors, available memory, and a fast connection, but it is still there.
