OPERA BROWSER FREE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
Opera Software said this week that its Opera browser will be freely
available to any university worldwide, in an effort to protect higher
education from flaws in "more vulnerable browsers." The company also
touted its browser's customization features, which would allow
colleges and universities to personalize the browser for their own
campus. Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner said his company's browser is
"fully standards-compliant and offers extensive administration
possibilities for network configuration." Institutions including
Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and
Oxford University have reportedly already taken Opera up on its offer.
