Opera Browser is turning 10, and it is giving away free registration code at its birthday party! And that includes all its platforms — Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris and Mac. Go register, and follow the instruction to download Opera 8 and turn it ads-free!

Better be hurry, as the offer is time-limited.

Opera is a fine and very light weight web browser. I have used it quite exclusively for a period of time on Linux and Windows (around 2000 I think). It is great to just have it sitting there under your Applications folder (or “Program Files”, or “/usr/bin/X11”), so I can ensure my sites would also function properly for the Opera users.

Update 21 September 2005: Now, Opera is free — forever. No more ads. No more nagging. Download 8.5 today, and make your collection complete.
