Yes, that's right. From today Opera is free of charge with no banner/ads.

You can download the browser from here and read more about Opera (and why it's now free) here.

And just to list some of the features included:

• mouse gestures
• pop-up blocking
• spell checking
• Voice browsing (just talk to your browser)
• Text to speech (don't strain your eyes, listen to the text instead)
• integrated google search (and the ability to integrate any other search engine)
• translation of pages
• and much much more...

Enjoy
