Opera 9 one of eWeek Labs products of 2006
Opera 9 was chosen as one of the top products of 2006 by eWeek. It’s the only browser to receive an award from eWeek for 2006.
“It has a market share that is dwarfed by the No. 2 Web browser Firefox and is a minuscule spec compared with market leader Internet Explorer. The average Internet user has probably never even heard of it, never mind used it. But when it comes to strength of features, quality of interface and pace of innovation, Opera is the giant of the Web browser world. When we tested Opera 9 this year, we called it one of the best Web browsing tools that we had used in a long time and the subsequent releases of Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 7 did nothing to change that opinion.”
Other award winners include Apple’s Intel based Macs, VMware Server and Asterisk, the open source PBX.
