Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

Not sure, Marc, I'd suspect not.
(the same is true for iCab btw, which now allows users to enter any string,
rather than just picking from a list)

However, if a user has changed the UA string, I'd suspect that they've
done so from a reasonable position of knowledge and would know
what they've let themselves in for.

It's kind of like the IT support position of a place I used to work, which
was
"Sure you can have admin rights over your (NT) machine (assuming you've
gone through the business approval hoops), but we're no' supporting it. If
you break it, it's your problem"

Cheers
Martin

Subject:  [thelist] detecting opera


Hi all,

Is there a way to detect Opera when it's masquerading as some other
browser?
