Google Made Opera Browser Free

Om Malik’s Broadband Blog » Google Made Opera Browser Free

Joe:
First if you don't know what Opera is and/or you didn't know it was now free: Opera is an award-winning browser that unless you keep up with technology you probably never heard of it. Yes, everyone has heard about Firefox now a days, but this wasn't true for Opera. I think the big reason was that it wasn't FREE. Firefox came out of the gate FREE. I won't pretend to know a lot about Opera since I didn't even give it a try back when it was out and getting all sorts of praises, but now that it is full up FREE (not even an add banner in sight) I will be trying it out.

Now for what the article above is really there to tell you: Looks like the reason that Opera became FREE was because of Google. They struck some compensation deals with the search engines out there, and of course the big dogg Google was the important deal that made it all happen.

Read the article for more detailed info and download and try out Opera by going to:

xai jian for now!
