Opera should be free without the banner.

 

[SPeedY_B]

Why should it? The development team put a LOT of work into it, and need to generate some sort of revenue from those who don't wish to pay for their work.

using opera

using opera since its early stages (< 1mb) a couple off years ago, it now has
become a fully growen browser to be reckoned with. Have used it across
all distros (windows, unix & linux) one of its features is "refuse popup windows"
is a sheer delight!!!
No need for external programs to suppress popup windows.
I think they do (and still doing) a terrific job

Thanks YoYo - haven't tried it yet but sure will. Had no idea this existed !!!

That program is just a lanuch bar made to cover up the ad and provide a lanuch bar at the same time

 

[Perris Calderon]

I like the idea....I'm going to give that a go.

everyone knows I like my tool bar as small as possible, but if it has function, I might be able to stand it.

the adds are not a bandwidth issue, since they are downloaded all at once during idle time. (supposedly...is this true?)

thanx for the link yoyo

Good thing is that with a 19 inch monitor I barely even notice the ads compared to those unfortunate few who are stuck with 15" where it intrudes with the buttons

 

[SPeedY_B]

Nothing to do with monitor size, but the res you use.

 

[coathanger007]

Good point

 

[SPeedY_B]

the ads have never really bothered me, as it's not my main browser I don't really want to pay for it, so I don't mind supporting them by showing and occasionally clicking some adverts.

 

[Perris Calderon]

it's not the adds that bother me, it's the size of that whole area

 

[lechtard]

Opera is a nice browser, I like it alot - except for the fact that it don't sho webpages right .. Once they fix that I will use it more.

 

[Henyman]

[Leevoy]

[lechtard]

YIp .. here is the one with java

• ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/win/722/en/java/ow32enen722j.exe

This is the free version by the way

 

[Leevoy]

Well I posted it last night before bed. Then it was posted on main frame a bit later (happens quite often when I stick it in applications).

Have to give the geeks their credit, it's a great site for new releases and other software.

When you say fweeee do you mean no adverts?

Good Evening- Pllease bear with me as I'm new to the forum as a member.
Re: Opera- I've been a registered user for 2 plus years now and state I'm a big fan. MANY useful features and much better UI- especially when changing preferences. Just upgraded to 7.22- bad news is it crashed mutiple times when I hit the NTFS site and tried to read some forum messages (sigh). Currently running Firebird as I type. Hope the 7.22 ver. is not a regression. 7.21 seemed to finally solve some stability probs from earlier 7.x releases. Will watch the Opera forum closely over the next few weeks.
