“Opera Software has unleashed Opera 5 for Linux, it is now free!
If you are longing for a faster, more efficient and simply better
Internet experience, without having to pay, Opera 5 is the
answer.”

“Opera, long known as the browser for more savvy internet users
now enters the free Linux browser market with the its new
sponsor-supported version.”

“On installation, Opera defaults to the Sponsored mode. However,
there is the option of switching to Paid/ Registered mode, in which
case all ad-related code will be completely uninstalled. The cost
to do so remains at $39.”
