Opera To Go Free?
from the that-would-be-cool dept
People are speculating that Opera is finally going to release a free version of their browser next week. It's about time. I've always liked Opera, but never enough to actually pay for it. I could never figure out how they expected to build up a business based on having people pay for a product everyone else was giving away for free.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Opera for 'free'
As a registered user of Opera, I sure hope that the new feature list of version 5.0 (over the current 4.02) consists of a lot more than just an ad support system.
