The ads in the free version of Opera are pretty big. However I find some of
the banners worth clicking on, since I'm on a flatrate broadband connection,
and since I want to support Opera.

I wouldn't mind having a smaller, button-sized banner showing smaller
versions of the same ads, if this meant that Opera was cheaper to buy. I
think $30 is nothing for a tool I use for hours every day, but there is also
the psychological aspect. If I look at small ads, I want to benefit from it
somehow.

That size of banner doesn't bother me but the url info area is truncated due
to the ad banner being in same area you know when you move the mouse/cursor
over a link the url show up in the area where the banner is. I looked at
window opera and I see that the url info is under the buttons. I am hoping
that you will move them to the area under the toolbar buttons.

Thanks,
