![]() ![]() In 2012, Opera announced plans to rebuild the browser using Chromium and its the WebKit engine, and thus to stop development of their own proprietary Presto engine. A native port for 64-bit Linux was already available prior. Opera 12 was the first version available natively for 64-bit Windows and OS X. Opera 9 was the base for the Internet Channel on the Nintendo Wii. Opera 8.5 removed the ads and was the first version to be offered completely free. It has become free to use, however it showed banners with either text-based personalized ads by Google (which was an option in a later release) or a stock banner of Opera Software to pay for the ad-free edition. With Opera 5.0, released in 2000, the browser was no longer tied to a trial. After the trial expired, the user was forced to pay for the browser to continue using it. Until Opera 5.0, the browser was available free as a 30-day trial. Its predecessor, MultiTorg Opera 1, was only intended for internal usage. Opera 2.0 was the first version of the browser released to the public. Development has since ceased for the aforementioned operating systems. Opera also created versions of the Opera Mini and Mobile browsers for other mobile operating systems such as Windows Mobile, Windows Phone and Blackberry OS.
