Opera Mobile and Opera Mini to use Google as default search engine
Opera Software has announced that their Opera Mobile and Opera Mini products would now use Google as the default search engine.
This means that Google has managed to snatch away a deal from Yahoo which was previously the default search engine on these two mobile applications.
Incidentally, Google is already the default search engine in the desktop version of Opera since several years now.
Opera said that the change is applicable to all markets except for Russia and the former Soviet Republics.
Jon von Tetzchner, chief executive of Opera added on this deal: “Google and Opera have established a valuable relationship over the years and we look forward to continued collaboration on mobile products. With 2008 poised to be the year the mobile Web goes mainstream, Google and Opera are extending this collaboration to give our users immediate access to the quality and convenience of Google’s search results.”
