I have been a registered Opera user for a couple years so I am not concerned about the ads, I won't see them. But, I did look at the screen shots and I did not find the layout of the ads offensive or overly obtrusive. From the privacy statement at Opera, it seems they are handling it responsibly. Slashdot has a banner ad above every screen and I do not hear anyone screaming about that....
