Opera Software has released a free (ad supported) version of their browser. It’s got some nifty new features, like OperaShow (the first implementation of the CSS2 @media projection rule) and the ability to read WAP/WML. Their CTO is Håkon Wium Lie, the originator and author of the CSS standard, so naturally their standards support is very good. The GUI is in the tradition of ICQ. I tried to install with Java support, but that didn’t go so hot; without Java, the install worked fine. I like having it around as a second browser, but it still isn’t as good as IE.
