Thumbs up Solved: get Opera Browser free today only
Today only, Opera Software is celebrating its 10th anniversary by giving away registration codes for its Opera web browser. (It’s normally $39.) Opera’s a Great web browser: features include a pop-up blocker, RSS newsreader, e-mail client with spam filter, a notes feature, and much more.

Have patience when you go to the site: understandably, the Opera site is heavily loaded — and therefore slow — today. The offer is valid until 12 a.m. (PDT).

First, get your free registration code
http://my.opera.com/community/party/reg.dml
Then, download Opera
http://www.download.com/Opera/3000-2356_4-10421507.html

I still like firefox better, but this one has promise, and the price is right.

Later all

I went to the website given in the first post in this thread. What do I do after I get the registration number? I don't see what to do next.
Thanks!
Also, if I download it, will it change anything in my IE?

click on the second link in my first post and download Opera then install it, it is a web browser and will run with out using IE so it will not change IE, it is just a different browser, and better then IE. I looked on the site and the B-day deal is over, so I hope every one who wanted to try Opera (without the stupid adds running in the top on the browser) got this before the time ran out. I still like firefox better, but it has been becoming a target lately.

I did get the registration code earlier today. Is it too late to use it? I did download and I don't know how to use the code. Is it where you can download an upgrade? If so, I tried to put it in and it was rejected.
What do you think?

Like Stantley wrote
Go to Help/Register Opera/ and copy and paste the code into the registration code box, then click O.K. I am not sure if it will still work but it should if you have the code.

I don't know how anyone can say these ads are intrusive. What do you think?
Opera is a free browser with the ads you see in the pink strip of my attachment.

I tried it with the ads, with me I've got my FF and IE fully customized so I notice anything.
But, they aren't that bad...

Thanks WhitPhil, I'm using IE7 Beta & have had no problems except for plug-ins, I know others don't like "Beta" versions but I love it! & it's much faster then IE6. So far no problems.
