After downloading and installing, you must go to http://my.opera.com/community/party/reg.dml and, in exchange for your e-mail address (or somebody else's for that matter), you get your very own make-the-banner-ads-disappear registration code.

to make it free make sure to go to http://my.opera.com/community/party/reg.dml and opera will give you a reg code, otherwise you'll have just downloaded the same old ad infested opera

Great tips, both the editor and first comment, thank you both!

btw, if you don't want to use your own Email address, do NOT use random ones. Those "random" ones, more often than people think, actually belong to someone.
Use madeup email addresses using the example.com domain name, that's guaranteed to not belong to anyone, e.g. na@example.com, noemailforyouoneyear@example.com

you could always use pookmail.

Or you could make up a throw-away address from Pookmail.com, Dodgeit.com, Mailinator.com, etc. to give them.

I'm currenlty using my free Opera to write this comment and troll through Weblogs Inc.
It does seem to knock me offline like when I use Firefox. That's good, I like it.

I have wanted to get a copy of opera to test my websites in and hate ads so thanks for giving us this heads up!

thanks for the tip. i wasn't using opera because of the ads up top... they weren't too annoying really, but ehh why bother when FF doesn't force ads on you.
tried it at work and many of the web aps we have do _not_ work with opera. some problems with FF too so it's not all thier fault.
the interface is nice, and at least you can re-arrange tabs.. my #1 gripe about FireFox. I still use the old version of MyIE2 the most since it has the best compatibility with everything (uses IE core).
