Opera to fan the browser-war flames. via Ed.

It appears Opera is going to go free-but-ad-supported.

I didn't buy (or continue to use) Opera after I tried it because it uses the MDI interface, which I couldn't productively use for a web browser. I have multiple monitors and a virtual desktop utility called Control Center on my Windows machines, and I wasn't about to be restricted to having web pagese on 1 of my 14 desktops (per machine) at a time.
