Key Points:
- Opera's monthly active users on Android increased significantly in Q2, with a 66% rise in the UK and 40% in the US year over year.
- The browser's growth is attributed to unique features not available by default on Chrome, such as a free VPN, built-in ad blocker, and integrated AI tools.
- Opera's momentum in Europe has been bolstered by the EU's Digital Markets Act, which has helped both attract new users and improve retention.
- Despite Chrome being preinstalled on most Android devices, more users are actively choosing Opera for its specialized features and recent additions like a dedicated football hub for World Cup updates.
