Opera hit MSN back....in style...

Brief:
Recent changes to MSN's homepage have caused problems with how Opera's browser renders the page. After much huffing and puffing, Opera instead decided to play the same game. Their new version, named "Bork", turns text on MSN's homepage into the language of the Swedish chef from the Muppet Show. Take that, M$.

Aww crap. I'm never first anymore.

That's like a month old. Opera displays msn.com okay, and it always did though... at least for me. I never got the bork bork bork version even though I downloaded it right when people started to post about it.

As can be seen in the table above, Opera7 receives a style sheet which is very different from the Microsoft and Netscape browsers. Looking inside the style sheet sent to Opera7 we find this fragment:

ul {
margin: -2px 0px 0px -30px;
}

Except you have to use Opera for that to happen and only 15 people use opera.

Why the hell does opera identify itself as IE? That's annoying.

Change the setting. Opera 7 is a great version, I love the true fullscreen mode...

It literally uses the whole screen. It even blocks out the Windows taskbar at the bottom of the screen, so you can use Opera at a kiosk or something like that and have it appear like nothing else is there.

IE 6 does the same thing...
