I don't know... I've used Opera, IE, Firefox, GreenBrowser (a wrap for IE) and quite a few others over the years and I run into a common thread.

You tell a lot of websites that you're running anything other than IE or Firefox and they start "not working". Used to be the same way with Firefox as well until it got popular enough that people started seriously complaining and they had to admit Firefox into the "Holy Sanctioned" realm at a lot of websites.

If I tell Opera to tell websites it's IE 5 or 6, everything usually works fine. It think in a lot of cases, you hit sites that are programmed to reject anything *not* IE or Firefox.
