Free Opera 8.5

Opera is now free for download, no more ad banners. Just like Firefox, it supports all the essential functions of a modern day browser such as tab-browsing, RSS news feed and integrated Email client.

The anti-phishing security feature is most attractive. I tried to visit a phishing web site in which the URL returned to Opera's URL bar was :

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run

Opera could display the real URL correctly as :

http://148.235.64.36/manual/mod/mod_perl/paypal/sysdll.php

Woooo, with Opera, I don't need to worry about being fooled by phishing web sites.
