Opera Software Company Description
The next time you scour the Internet for Puccini's middle name (Antonio Domenico Michele Secondo Maria), you may be using Opera's software. Opera Software offers its Opera browser (developed as an internal communication tool for Norwegian telecom company Telenor) as an alternative to Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Netscape's browser. Although the company once charged a fee for its browser, it has shifted to a free, advertising-supported model. The Opera browser is available for all major operating systems, and it supports a variety of languages, including Welsh. The company went public on the Oslo Bors exchange in 2004.
