Opera software has recently claimed that their UK downloads for the Opera 10.50 web browser has increased by almost 85 percent from the time when Microsoft had released the ‘Browser Choice Screen’ available for the PC users. This wonderful facility was made available at the start of this month and this much fame for it is definitely great. This program is actually the part of proposal by the software developers who are trying to settle EU’s antitrust investigation which came as a complaint by the Norwegian browser developer in December 2007.

Now coming to the features which that screen provides; it gives you an awesome display offering 12 different web browsers which is a blend of famous browsers like Firefox and Chrome plus also some less famous browsers like Avant, Flock etc. the browser will be available only for those PCs on which internet explorer is set to be the default browser via Windows Update System that distributes security patches. According to the CTO Opera, Hkon Wium Lie “This confirms that when users are given a real choice on how they choose the most important piece of software on their computer, the browser, they will try out alternatives”. Thus if Opera carries this facility for the later months as well than the popularity will surely increased quite much.
