This past summer Opera Software ASA's CEO, Jon S. von
Tetzchner, promised to swim from Norway to the United States if they

they have made another strategic move by eliminating all advertising
banners and licensing fees relating to its latest Opera web-browser. Of

enhanced GUI as well as improvements to its security, speed, and
customization (among other features) we couldn't help but to try out
this multi-platform browser for ourselves. Today we have our visual
results from our experience with the latest Opera for Linux 8.50 release. Read on over at
Phoronix.
