<a href="/freeopera" title="Free Opera"><q cite="/freeopera">I wonder how long it is before it's just plain free?</q></a> The correct answer was <a href="http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2005/09/20/">three weeks</a>. </p>

It's still closed-source though. And it doesn't have <a href="http://getfirefox.com">Firefox</a>'s extension system. But its use of tabs is far better than Firefox's. </p>

Also, Captain Opera seems to have been fired. Damn - I quite enjoyed taking the piss out of him. </p>
