Let's stay on topic please, no browser wars or snitty comments. I have taken the free offer (which is to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Opera) because, hey, it's normally $39 so why not? I'm still using Firefox, but it is interesting to compare browsers, so this offer is open if you feel the same.

Good catch SoCalRick...

Thanks

Thanks for the info

That's a very clever idea, I hope they include free updates.

It's a full registered version, so you'll get the same treatment as any other registered user.

I finally got my code after about a 10 hour wait, so anyone out there waiting just be patient. Oh, and the email will likey go into your spam or bulk folder (but if you're a member here then you know to check your spam folder, right?).

Here's a link so that you can get an immediate, free registration, but you ONLY HAVE 4 HOURS left to take advantage of getting one of the world's most advanced browsers totally free.

Tomorrow it's back to $39 mates. Just get the reg code whether you want to use it now or try it later. It's great to have a variety of browsers especially if you are a web page designer.
