From: "Rich Gauszka" 

My problem with Opera is that it renders results different than what I
would expect at times. For example on the //my.yahoo.com web page - some of
the items that work in both IE and Firefox don't in Opera. The 'More' drop
down under "?Help' is one of those items. While it may be good that
Opera implements rendering correctly if the Web site designers don't follow
suite then Opera's advantage can be a detriment.
