Comparing mobile browsers they ignored Opera - the most common mobile browser and the most secure.

I have no idea why you think Opera is the most secure mobile browser.

Opera Mobile has significantly more installs than Mobile Safari, but Safari probably has greater market share in terms of mobile visits (because iPhone users use Safari quite a bit).

As for numbers, Opera says there are more than 120m installations of Opera Mobile:

They have another product, for less powerful phones (it does rendering via a proxy actually) that has 20 million users. Since the requests are all proxies, Opera knows how many people use this product:
