Opera is a good proprietary cross-platform web browser. There's a free version, but it has ads. Well, for Opera's 10 year anniversary the company is giving away free registration keys for Opera.

Get one here: http://my.opera.com/community/party/reg.dml

You don't actually need to use a real e-mail, so enter something like "[email protected]".

*posting this from Opera* :)

BTW: They're only giving out keys for a day though.

This is cool, even though I happened to buy mine just 4 months ago. :)

Well, this is finally convincing me to download and install Opera. I'd tried it out previously (back in version 6? 7? Something like that...), but I wasn't satisfied with the overly glitzy interface and MDI method of handling windows (this was pre-tabs, IIRC).

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Awesome! I'm kind of partial to Firefox now though. I used to use Opera. This can't hurt. ^_^

Opera seems a little overly "prettified" but it seems ok otherwise.  But since im a firefox finatic it still is on the backburner.

Always useful for testing purposes.

I find Opera to be a more advanced browser than Firefox in terms of features and useability. The one issue I had when I used it exclusively was how unstable it was. Opera was much more unstable for me on Windows than Firebird (that's what it was called at the time :p) was. The session saving meant crashes wasn't too big of a deal, but it was still annoying. That was back when Opera was on version 5 and 6 though. :p

BTW: I just installed Opera 8 on Linux too. Very nice stuff. I like how they're using QT, it's a very nice GUI toolkit (and must make their cross-platform efforts a hell of a lot easier).

So will this key work on any computer you put it on?  My own computer is rather disassembled at the moment.

Opera. I actually bought a key for Opera back when its biggest selling point was that it fit on a floppy disk.

Wow. Too bad Firefox works for me.

I guess it doesn't hurt to have it to test your websites and shit though.
