just thought id inform you guys that opera has dropped the banner ads from their web browser... http://www.opera.com/ who knows, perhaps it'll give safari a run for its money? or even firefox for that matter... time will tell i guess.
 
Nice. I got a free registration number during a promotion they were running a few weeks back, so haven't had to deal with the ads. The browser itself is pretty nice, and I use it from time to time. Some of the preferences are complicated to find and manage, but overall it's been stable.

I'm sure they'll get more users now that it's ad-free (except for the sites you visit, of course).
 
hrm, about the preferences.. they seem to have the look from os 10.1 or something.. funky vibes here lol.. but yeah overall its pretty fast and seems like an OK browser.. will continue to use throughout the week..

Opera is not really stable (maybe it's better with the new 8.5) but I recommend it to everyone who wants a feature-rich browser.
One of the features is the ability to continue at startup exactly where you have been quitting (or crashing) thus rendering the stability problems quite negligible.
