Fair point. If they are going to bundle Flash, they will likely have to pay Adobe for every single damn download. So they would have no choice but to charge.

But they haven't said anything yet. I hope it becomes free of charge.

Or atleast thats what i think will happen cuz it IS suppose to support flash. the older betas like 1409 would load a vid in youtube but play real choppy then crash.
So what you are saying is that Flash would crash the browser? Sounds like a good reason to disable it temporarily for a beta to me

When the desktop version of Opera became free, their revenue per quarter from the desktop version started climbing by 50-100%. Apparently there's more money in a free version with search revenue on the desktop. Opera gets paid every time you use the search field, just like Firefox.
