> Why doesn't tech media consider Opera Mini when writing about browser wars?

Because most of the "tech media browser wars" is about desktop browsers? I mean you could ask the exact same question about Safari, nobody cares about it on the desktop, but on mobile…

I don't think it would make much sense to talk about Opera Mini in the same context with desktop browsers. Opera Mini is pretty amazing though. If I were forced to use the default browser on a Blackberry I wouldn't own one.

Opera Mini is more than 160 million users now.

Don't confuse Opera Mini and Opera Mobile:

Although their reported userbase comes from both.
