The first good news, is that the new relase of my favourite browser is out, and can be easily downloaded from the Opera.com website. I’m using it since almost 48 hours by now, and I have to say it feels even more stable than Opera 8.02 (which I was using before) and even lighter speaking about system resources.
It is still not the less demanding resurces browser around, but It’s really nice to see it asking my Linux box for less RAM than 8.02 did :)
Even the upgrading process was (like usual) without any problem, and the only files I had to change after the installation to keep my configuration settings were the sesrch.ini and the standard_menu.ini, something that hasn’t changed from previous version, these have always been over-written when upgrading.
Last but not least, the best news: Opera 8.50 is now not only “free”, but also “Ad-Free“, which means that even without a valid registration key you’re going to have a 100% working (amazing) browser with no advertisment at all.
I’m in love with the Opera guys ^_^
I got my valid and gifted key on the 10th Opera Anniversary, so wasn’t a problem of mine to get rid of the advertisments, but I’m quite happy with this free choice from the Opera Team, and I really hope this will help this fantastic browser to earn more public and a lot of new users.
The WordWideWeb would be a better place, when all of its user will be using standard compliant browser.
[any reference in the above statment to any Microsoft browser, is completly not wanted... yes... of course :p]
