| subject: | MSN deliberately breaks Opera browsers |
From: "Joe Barr" From the once a chickenshit scumbag, always a chickenshit scumbag department: Richard Shupak and his friends in Research & Development hard at work again, no doubt. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/29219.html Opera tried to test whether or not this was deliberate by changing identification to the non-existent browser Oprah. This returns the IE style sheet, which works perfectly well in Opera. In Opera's view MSN is therefore looking specifically for "Opera" in the User-Agent string and sending it a broken style sheet. That, of course, could still be a mistake, as it's perfectly logical to send IE as the default if the browser can't be identified. But as there was no need for MSN to design an Opera-specific style sheet in the first place, one wonders...
