Opera For Free

Opera have recently followed up their free registrations for a day offer by making the powerful Opera Web Browser free to all users without adds!!

Until now, they had two versions, a paid for version, and a free version with an ad banner!

I can see this improving their user numbers, and putting them in more direct competition with Firefox, but I'm not sure how it will make them more money! Unlike Mozilla, Opera Software are a commercial company out to make a profit! Without software sales I wonder how they'll do this!! But then again, I know nothing about this sort of thing, and I'm sure they've thought it through! :)

Personally, I can't see myself switching! I tried it briefly when they were offering free registrations for a day, but there were two many things missing compared to Maxthon that I've got used to! Maybe I should give it another go though......
