Opera is free! Today only!

August 30, 2005

Opera turns 10 today!

To celebrate, they’re giving away, for free, Opera registration codes.

See http://my.opera.com/community/party/reg.dml.

I love the form. Rather than ask a zillion questions for the marketing weasels, they have TWO things they ask:

1) What’s your email address? (so they can email you the code)

2) Would you like to be on the mailing list? (and they default to NO! Who gives away a free registration code AND gives you an OPT-IN? Most everyone else would try to sneak that one by you, try to get you on their mailing list in exchange for a free code. But Opera respects you too much to treat you that way.

What are you still doing here? Go get yourself a free code!

Already bought Opera? Get one anyway and give it to someone else!

(UPDATE: Well all good things come to an end, and so did this. Hope you got yours.)

  • Congratulations Opera !!! :D

  • Were you there in the Opera IRC party?It was really great fun.


    Once again Opera prooved why it is the best company!


    I already have an key thnx to their affiliate program,but it is gonna attract more attention towards our favutire browser.


    Thanks Opera.

  • I got myself a brank spanking new copy of Opera 8, and spent the past couple of hours reading through this page.


    I have vowed to give Opera a good trial before I make the decision to switch or not.


    Thanks for a handy in-depth guide to some of it's features.

    Another very nice thing from Opera ASA. Hope this opportunity made more people convinced how great is Opera browser.

    I have been using IE for years, and some time last year switched permanently to Firefox.


    This year I switched again to Opera. Opera is now my default browser, and it's the best browser out there, bar none!!!


    You guys are the best!! I love the browser, for its quickness, and more importantly securiy.


    I however do have one suggestion, Id really appreciate it if you can install a feature, whereby the toolbars at the top of the page, only come on when you drag your mouse to it. Until then they remain invisable. This inturn gives you a greater viewing area. Its afeature in Avant browser, and Id really like to see it incorporated in Opera.


    Great job guys, and here's wishing you another 10 hot & sizzling years!!!

    Opera is an excellent software that I highly recommend to any person looking for information about the internet.

    Excellent and well done! Goodbye, Firefox... well, for my regular browsing needs. While building websites, I rely heavy on the web developers tools for Firefox. Haven't found similar plug-ins for Opera yet.

    How does one disable the auto-complete of web page addresses when surfing the net? I find this feature a great annoyance, and haven't been able to disable it. I would appreciate it if someone would email an answer to me.


    Thanks
