- lazyjones 14y agoThey added the banners in 2000 and removed them in September 2005 - to give you an idea about the time I am referring to. If anyone's curious, they can probably still download version 8.0 or so from sites such as cnet.com (but beware the crapware installers they use there). I actually tracked down a version of Opera 5 (from 2000) and installed it in a VM, here's a screenshot of the ad preferences: http://666kb.com/i/c69ez5xf671f79fk4.png http://666kb.com/i/c69ez5xf671f79fk4.png As you can see, it's more or less what the article suggests. Opera gave up on the idea after 5 years - but then again the (worse) feeling of being tracked by everyone and everything didn't exist back then.
