Opera’s Indonesian debut
Newly released Opera 9.6 now available in Indonesian
Oslo, Norway — October 8, 2008
Today, the world discovered Opera 9.6, the even faster and more flexible new browser from Opera Software. In Indonesia, locals are now experiencing the first-ever Indonesian language version of the Opera desktop browser. This new language version is a testament to Opera’s commitment to getting more Indonesians online, in their own language.
Opera 9.6 is available as a free download from www.opera.com.
While still in its Internet infancy with only 10 percent of the country online via a computer, Indonesia presents enormous growth potential for Opera. Opera usage in Indonesia is already spreading rapidly, as the company has experienced double-digit year-on-year growth for its desktop browser alone.
“Indonesia is a very important market for Opera on both desktop and mobile phones. We are committed to making it easier for Indonesians to surf the Web, and we have, therefore, tailored our products to meet their needs,” said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. “While Indonesia currently has about 25 million Internet users on the desktop, we expect this number to rise significantly as the infrastructure continues to develop. More and more people in Indonesia are getting online, and Opera is ready and waiting to usher them in with its latest Indonesian language version.”
Indonesians have already discovered the power of Opera Mini, Opera’s Web browser for nearly any mobile phone. Opera Mini gets Indonesians online when a broadband connection may not be an option. Indonesia is the second largest user of Opera Mini in the world, and Opera has experienced double digit quarter-on-quarter growth with this product.
In addition to the new Indonesian language version, Opera 9.6 also features:
•Speed Dial
Transform your top nine sites into visual favorites that are immediately available in any new tab.
•Fraud Protection
This is enabled by default, automatically detecting and warning you about fraudulent Web sites.
•Opera Link
Sync your bookmarks with Opera Mini or among multiple computers.
•Opera Mail
Opera’s optimized e-mail client is now available in Indonesian, including Opera Mail’s low-bandwidth mode, for times when the connection speed is slow.
•Turn off images
Conserve bandwidth for slower connections.
•Improved speed performance
Opera 9.6 responds more quickly and loads pages faster.
