Yeah, Opera is fast, that's the best of it, but the banner I believe is way to big. I just don't want any banner at all. Why should somebody be trying to sell me something all the time?. (question kind of weird here on the US).

If Opera would get rid of the banner I might use it as my primary browser... and yes, I hate the plugins, but I guess I have no other option than using them. As most people.
