Free Opera Download

If you’re interested in trying out the other-other web browser (a.k.a. Opera), they are offering free registration of their ad-free browser today only as part of a promotion to celebrate their 10-year anniversary. From the download.com Opera download page:

For one day only, you can get an ad-free version of Opera. Simply e-mail registerme@opera.com to obtain a registration code. This offer is valid from 12 a.m. Tuesday, August 30 to 12 a.m. Wednesday, August 31 2005 (PDT).

I’ve never actually tried Opera myself since the ad-free version is not free and I’m quite happy with Firefox. With this promotion, though, I think I’ll at least give it a look. I’ve heard many good things about it.

UPDATE: Thanks to digg.com I’ve found a site where you can retrieve your free registration code instantly rather than waiting for the folks at Opera to reply to your request by email. Here’s the link. Enjoy!

Certainly superior to Internet Explorer, and comparable in features and functionality to Firefox, Opera is a welcome addition to the free browser community. [...]
