Opera- The Underdog?

Market Share:
According to W3C Schools latest statistics Opera controls about 2% of the browser market share. To put that in perspective Apple controls about 3% with its Safari browser. I do need to mention however that these statistics come from their log files. Since they are a website for web technologies they get more people visiting with alternate browsers so their stats maybe a little misleading from what the general public uses to access most websites.

Mobile Market Share:
Opera is the top mobile web browser according to GlobalStats StatCounter. They control about 25% of the market where Apple controls about 22%.
