 Opera OPRA, one of the worlds leading browser providers and platforms in the field of integrated AI-driven digital content, today announced that its Opera News service now has more than 200 million monthly active users in May, a 28 percent increase year over year. The accelerating user growth for Opera News is mainly driven by three important factors: the expansion of Opera News Hub beyond Nigeria to Kenya, Ghana, Côte dIvoire, South Africa and Egypt; the launch of Opera News Lite, a downsized version of the Opera News application that enables people with new ways to access the Opera News service; and Opera News became a critical information source during the Coronavirus outbreak across both Africa and South Asia. Opera News is based on an AI platform which uses insights from Operas massive user base and relies on technologies including natural language processing, computer vision, and image understanding to process content, as well as machine learning technology to recommend personalized content to each individual user.
