    It's the tenth anniversary of the Opera browser, and they're offering free registration of the ads-free version today.

    I doubt I'll switch from Firefox, but I wouldn't mind also having an ads-free version of Opera -- as long as I don't have to pay the typical $40 for it. I thought some of you might want to get it as well.

    What is better in Opera than in Firefox? I really like fire fox, but I'm thinking something you usually have to pay for is better.

    I'm not sure one is better than the other. I prefer Firefox, but I'm sure others prefer Opera.

    Only problem with Opera is that it is a pain in the ass for website developers because it handles HTML and CSS differently than any other browser. In some ways, it is worse than IE. Fortunately, so few people use it that it is generally rendered un-important.
