Opera, the alternative alternative browser, is celebrating its tenth anniversary. They'll give you a free registration code for the full, ad-free, version if you send a note to registerme@opera.com before midnight tonight.
To call Opera the alternative browser might appear to slight Firefox. I've never used Opera so I am in no position to compare, but I love Firefox.
Posted by: kent at August 30, 2005 03:40 PMAs a firefox user, I agree. I called it the "alternative alternative" because Firefox is the "alternative".
Posted by: Michael at August 30, 2005 04:13 PMYes, but... Opera was an alternative long before Firefox was even a twinkle in daddy's eye. The Norwegians clearly earned their "alternative" label first.
But no matter...they're both strong alternatives. I use both, and like 'em equally well for different reasons.
