Today, Tuesday August 30, 2005, Opera Software is celebrating it’s 10th birthday, by offering you an ad-free version of their browser. The ad-free version usually costs 39 US Dollars. So if you download the Opera browser at Cnet’s download.com, and send an email to registerme@opera.com to obtain a registration code. This offer is valid from 12 a.m. Tuesday, August 30 to 12 a.m. Wednesday, August 31 2005 (PDT).

John’s 2 cents worth:
Now you are probably saying to yourself, ” Self, I have FireFox, and IE why do I need Opera?” Well I guess I just like free stuff, or I have a browser fetish, but I plan on downloading this and getting the ad-free browser. Some features promoted by Opera are the ability to control your browser with your voice, support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), and tabbed browsing. Just to name a few. If that’s not enough for you, why not download it and try Opera. It’s not like its costing you anything today.
