PriceGrabber Announces Partnership with Opera Browser

From Press Reports

Shopping comparison company Pricegrabber.com and Opera Software, the creator of the Opera Web Browser, today announced a strategic affiliate agreement. Opera 5 will feature the Pricegrabber shopping comparison services as part of its integrated search box.

"Opera users are among the most active users of online shopping channels,"
says Rolf Assev, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Opera. "PriceGrabber allows users to quickly find the best deals on the most popular items such as electronics, computer hardware and software. And we have made this even easier by integrating shopping comparison right into the Opera 5 browser."

Since the launch of Opera's free version in Dec. 2000, it has received high praise from users and critics around the world. Free Opera 5 has dramatically increased Opera's user base, with around 20,000 new people joining every day.

"The Opera user is a great fit for PriceGrabber," said Tamim Mourad, CEO of PriceGrabber. "We're excited to work with this unique company and
technology, and look forward to widespread use of the integrated PriceGrabber shopping comparison functionality within Opera 5."

PriceGrabber has grown dramatically since the site was launched with a
single shopping comparison channel in 1999. The PriceGrabber site now includes millions of products in eight shopping channels (computers, software, electronics, video games, movies, music, books and toys). PriceGrabber hosts over 1.5 million shoppers monthly.
