To increase market share, the underdog browser company offers Opera for free. September 20, 2005

Ten years after it launched the first version of its browser, Norwegian software company Opera Software said Tuesday it will start giving away its underdog browser Opera for free as it seeks to catch up with its nearest rival Firefox and capture greater market share.

The move means that Opera, which has a relatively small but fiercely loyal fan base, will remove the ads from the basic version of its browser and will no longer charge a licensing fee for the premium ad-free version.

It can only be a good thing, especially with the up coming release of IE7.
Also of note for IE users, MS have released a beta dev toolbar much like the one you get in firefox http://tinyurl.com/7mnyh<

Got the new Opera - I wish more companies would do this, but how do they intend to earn some money? I mean this:

Certainly isn´t enough, or is it?<

They said they made enough money over the past 10 years to be able to do this.<
