April saw a significant increase in the amount of data transferred by Opera Turbo users, accompanied by a smaller increase in the number of Opera Turbo users, and a slight decrease in the number of Opera Turbo page views. As the geographical distribution of Opera Turbo usage continues to evolve, we will likely continue to see changes regarding who uses Opera Turbo, how much it is used (in terms of page views), and the types of content (with varying page sizes) viewed in Opera Turbo.
This will be the last Opera Turbo Report for now. If you are looking for insight in online behavior take a look at our State of the Mobile Web Report.
Thank you for reading,
