The Opera web browser is now completely free for anyone without any annoying ad. banners at the top.

Why we're going free

Opera has removed the banners, found within our browser, and the licensing fee. Opera’s growth, due to tremendous worldwide customer support, has made today’s milestone an achievable goal. Premium support is available.

So, if you haven't tried it out yet, give it a go. Opera offers many of the same features as Firefox (security, tabs, skins, etc), although it does seem to, generally, use-up less system resources than Firefox.

8.50 is working fine with WC for me and I have had no problems. Been using Opera exclusively for 3 years now and most of the WC issues have been resolved.

Septimus, See #36 by T-Man. They had to disable some of the site code to allow the 8.5 upgrade to work.

#46 I haven't run into this problem personally, but I suggest the use of protective gear when browsing so you won't mess up the PC when your head explodes.
