Opera stats in Poland
Friday, 16. February 2007, 23:19:41
Well, it seems I was a bit wrong when writing, that on January 2007 we (in Poland) were still at the very same Opera popularity level as on September 2005. Maybe I've based my opinion on the weekly stats. When looking at monthly stats, Opera was used by 6.4% of Polish Internet users on September 2005, that is the whole 
0.4% less than now.
Here is the chart showing the Opera market share based on stats averaged out over the monthly (not weekly) periods. Data source: ranking.pl.
Exactly a year ago, on February 2006, Opera was used by 6.8% of Polish Internet users. We had even reached 7.4% of market share on June 2006. And then Opera started to fall down, to go back to 6.8% on October 2006, and to remain at this level till now. This is the very first such a fall in the Opera history. So the old, still unanswered, question remains: what has happened?
According to the latest weekly stats, Opera is used by over a million of Polish Internet users, which means 6.9% of the market share. Gecko browsers (mostly Firefox) are used by over 4.6 million of users, which makes 29.8% of the market share. Internet Explorer is used by 63% of Polish Internet users.
So, in Kestrel and Peregrine we trust? I do believe, that the trust, and the great developers' efforts, will be efficiently followed and supported by the Opera marketing.

Or You give it nicely served with operating system (IE), or You publish source code (FF). Third way (I think) is to make more aggressive promotion to the software. This is the way Opera should go (API for external applications would also be very good option).
