whihathac 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2005 (edited) On 20/09/05 Opera Software announced that it was making its award-winning Opera Web browser available for free to all users. Previously, Opera had offered two versions of the product, a paid version and one that was free but included in-place advertisements. The re-release of Opera 8.5 signifies an end to that strategy. Now, the company will offer only one free version with no ads. Enjoy surfin.... Lol Bhavik Vora -----Did not use Quotes tag. Almost entire post is quoted.

pomjim 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2005 This is good news, as in my humble opinion, Opera is by far the best browser out there. Pity that we who paid for it don't get our money refunded though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aloyteo 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2005 thats part of their 10th anniversary gimmick. they are trying to win a larger share of the browser market, and probably take over firefox, haha!i am using opera 8.5 now and i like its speed but its features are somewhat overloaded, very hard for beginners to learn...

WeaponX 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2005 I finally let go of Firefox last night as it became a pain to use (kept crashing on me from time to time...new and old version). I have used Opera in the past (it's been over a few years now) and was sure I wouldn't be disappointed to go back. So I installed it and everything went smoothly. I mean, some things obviously needs some getting used to, but the browser is much more stable than Firefox and it's quicker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
