Opera was giving out free CD-keys yesterday to celebrate their tenth anniversary.

But I think you might have missed it.

(btw.  opera kicks firefox ass all over the place)

It's totally worth the money.

How the hell do I get Opera to check if it's the default browser? It's been told not to check anymore, and I want it to completely replace Firefox.

Went through it several times. Either I've become blind or it's not there.

EDIT: Yeah, I'm blind. Problem solved.

Have you tried downloading the lastes version  of Firefox?

I know it's closed source but why not use Opera as it's the best browser you'll ever get?

It's not like MS Office or Windows there's no lock-in factor, which is why so many people have found it so easy to migrate away from IE.

Opera is amazing and totally worth the money.
I'll never use another browser at home again.
