Opera for free!

August 30th, 2005 · 1 Comment · Miscellaneous software

Opera is giving away free registration codes as part of it’s “10-year online anniversary party”. Get this while you can - Opera 8 is a very good browser.

However, I hope Opera can find a way to make their browser free on a permanent basis. Developers and influencers will only consider Opera as their primary browser once charges are dropped, as they know no-one else is going to pay for it while other browsers are free.

Update: “Free registration codes are available until midnight CET (GMT +1) on Wednesday 31st of August”.
