Why'd it take so long?

I've always said that I'd never use Opera, for one simple reason.  I believe that one should never, ever have to pay for a web browser, however good it might be (see my earlier thoughts), so Opera's pricing model (a free version containing adverts or ad-free for a fee) was unacceptable, totally disqualifying it from consideration.

Well, Opera is now available for free.

'Fraid it's a bit late for me, as I'm happy with Firefox, and not looking to switch, but I'm happy to remove the company from my personal blacklist, and I might look at their browser one day.
