Opera – limited version?

I’ve started to see this in various blogs now, that Opera is not free, and that you have to pay to remove the banner ad and unlock some more features. Huh? Where does that notion come from?

I won’t bother arguing if Opera is free or not if it shows a banner ad, but where does the idea come from that the ad-supported version of Opera is not the full version? Which features are supposed to be unlocked when you register? No one says – logically enough, as the truth has eluded them.

The fact is: The ad supported version of Opera is the full version! It just has the ad at the top. That’s the plain truth.
