Ilya noticed that
members of our Russian forums made an interesting discovery on
Microsoft's Russian site. If you open the page with a different browser than IE, you will get a popup ad for Internet Explorer. That's not necessarily wrong in itself, of course. The problem is that they are combining it with false claims about security.

You may have seen the video where
Google asks more than 50 people in Times Square, New York, what a browser is. Most of them basically think a browser is a search engine!
It looks like the various browser vendors have a lot of work to do in order to create awareness around browsers!
Now someone has tried a similar poll in Russia.

According to procontent.ru, ComNews Research has published a report on the
mobile internet market in Russia. According to the report, revenue grew by 87% in 2008 thanks to a growth in the number of mobile Web users.
It is interesting to note that according to StatCounter, Opera Mini has a
nearly 80% market share of the mobile browser market in Russia. Although browser statistics are highly unreliable, StatCounter does mirror some of the statistics for several major sites in Russia. It seems to be much more reliable than other services, such as Net Applications, which focus almost exclusively on the United States.
So while one should remain skeptical of browser statistics, it is an interesting thought that Opera might be the main driver of mobile data traffic growth in Russia!
Even in times of economic turmoil, people obviously keep browsing the Web. This is why Opera Software is
doing very well financially, while other companies are struggling.
More and more mobile operators are also realizing that Opera Mini (and Opera Turbo) can help them get the most out of their current network infrastructure without costly network upgrades.
