TechWeb is reporting that Opera has hit the 2 million download mark in the two weeks since its release. While that is an admirable statistic, the fact still remains that Opera only holds a 1% marketshare.

Asa Dotlzer pointed out more statistics. The Register has an article quoting Opera’s CEO that they had over 60 million downloads of Opera 7, and currently have about 10 million active users, which translates into the 1% marketshare.

My question is where did the other 50 million downloads go? Are users downloading Opera only to not like it and turn back to Firefox, IE, or some other browser?

Has anyone here downloaded Opera and been so overwhelmed by its awesome abilities that you made it your default?
