Mobile phone users across the globe have helped Opera Mini become the most downloaded handset application of all time.

GetJar reports that the web browsing software, which serves as an alternative to packages such as Internet Explorer on Windows-based smartphones, has now been accessed 25 million times.

The site, which provides handset users with an online resource for such products, explained this made Opera Mini the most downloaded facility on any app store.

A spokesman for the firm that created the browser added the relationship between itself and GetJar was integral to the success.

Rolf Assev, chief strategy officer of Opera Software, said: "It proves that our vision of providing a browser that works on almost all phones will give millions a better way to access the web."

The company recently launched a new version of its PC and desktop based internet software, which can be accessed online.
