Shouldn’t a browser always be free?
I wouldn’t pay for a browser when safari and firefox are free…
I have never used Opera before but I’ll give it a try.
MW: was. Opera Was Expensive
They should be free, but I’m certainly going to be taking advantage of this for development purposes.
“Shouldn’t a browser always be free?”
That, in a nutshell, is why Microsoft was able to destroy the browser market and win the war–so far.
Safari is not free. There’s the small matter of having to buy an OS wrpped around it. Camino, now that’s free.
MKG. Can you use ANY browser without an OS?
uh, everything is free. try file swapping networks sometimes. LOL
Why in the world “shouldn’t a browser always be free?”. Even though many people think that, it doesn’t make any sense what so ever. Dennis is right, that is what MS did.
Wow, it’s pretty fast, a lot faster than Safari
where do you enter it for the mac version? all I see is “buy opera” no “register opera”
anyone who think Safari is free is deluding himself.
development for Safari is funded by sales of the Apple OS, as well as development for all of the other *free* apps released by Apple.
everyone who buys anything from Apple is funding other projects indirectly. the person who does not understand this simple concept is the person who thinks that health benefits from work are free.
opera on the other hand is relatively free — you just get loads of ads unless you register it.
“Shouldn’t a browser always be free?”
Yeah. And shouldn’t R&D for those browsers be free?

I downloaded Opera yesterday. I am quite impressed, it is fast, and seems to use less memory than Safari + Mail.
Designknob, you have to download Opera to be able to register it.
