Opera shows ads.
Users who install Opera 5 onto a computer which has no previous licensed installation of Opera will experience the advertising banner window. This will simply display banner images directly in the Opera interface. It will not harm your computer, and it will not collect personal information. It is not designed to track or record your computer use or internet visits. These images are banner ads showing e-commerce offers, news headlines, and other content.
