Opera Reports 66% Android Growth in UK and 40% in US Year Over Year for Q2

Opera reported that its Android monthly active users increased by 66% in the UK and 40% in the US year over year in the second quarter of 2026, according to the company. Opera attributes this growth to features not available out of the box in Chrome, such as a free unlimited VPN, a built-in ad blocker, and integrated AI tools. The company notes that momentum in Europe has continued following the EU's Digital Markets Act, with gains in both new user acquisition and retention.
