As previously suggested, Opera has announced their browser will now be available as a free download:
“Today we invite the entire Internet community to use Opera and experience Web browsing as it should be,” said Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. “Removing the ad banner and licensing fee will encourage many new users to discover the speed, security and unmatched usability of the Opera browser.”
Opera browser is available in 20 languages and is probably still the smallest download package, weighing in at less than 4MB.
