Opera is now free - no registration required and no ads.
I guess they were testing the waters when they recently gave away free regcodes.
It's a good browser - I'm using it right now. Think I'll try it for a week and see if it can replace Firefox.

I'm using it also, but I still have problems with some sites. For example Allmusic. When I move the cursor over an entry a discography section, the whole chart sprawls. Does it behave the same for you?

Good that they gave up on that banner shit. Then again it was always free considering the numerous cracks on different torrent sites etc...

I'll give it another chance, I only used it before for testing browser compatability, like fucking 90% of their users I imagine... that's wild conjecture. However I've downloaded the new one, banners are gone, like Fleet I will try it for a week, but if it isn't as good as Firefox then, well, whatever.

used to use opera, and found it very good; first browser i had with tabbed browsing. prefer firefox though...
still, i do miss that feature it has where you can turn off downloading of images. works wonders for 56k.. fucking brilliant idea.

yes, but opera has a button for it along the bar where the tabs for different opera windows are kept...
so you can turn image loading on and off quickly and easily while browsing...

IE cons old ladies out of their life savings, and kicks furry kittens down stairs.
^ true story.
Firefox will let you borrow $5 any time you ask, and it loves kitties.

Netscape is an abusive husband and crappy father. Doesnt even pay child support and sits around in his "wifebeater" and "tightywhiteys" and drinks cheap beer.
Netscape showers once a week
