The fact that Opera Software does business out of Norway doesn't help matters for American users. More to come Although many users run more than one browser, they probably wouldn't pay for more than one. With version 4.0 due out in April or May this year, it's probably wise to wait before purchasing a registration key. Or better yet, download and evaluate version 3.20. By the time the evaluation period ends, version 4.0 should be nearly ready for release.
Opera makes it clear that they are devoted to developing their browser according to user feedback.
If the current version leaves one lacking, it's likely to be remedied in the next release. Instead, it should play on that feeling. Many already have, and the list is growing. If enough of us do, perhaps Netscape and Microsoft will wave their white flags and start listening to the user again. If not, users may choose the alternatives.
