Opera test drive

Doing a comparison between this and Avant. I had Opera on a cell phone and it worked pretty well so I figured I'd give it a spin on the computer.

Does anyone have any kudos or shitcans on it?

OK, the post shows up as Chrome? Hopefully it's simply that the browser is based on Chrome without the Google invasive bullshit!

Well ain't I a dumbass? Maybe I should have read the Cnet review first. (Fuck me for that bonehead shit). Says it's using the Chromium engine which makes it an open source version of Chrome. WHEW! No Google bullshit!

Google is the devil. Tracks everything you do. Open source or not, those bastards are involved. Just use firefox like the other sane people.

Welcome back Flamey. Been awhile since your brash ass has been around these parts.

Thanks Twitch. Yeah, I finally dragged my ass back after LK Gibbs-slapped me to come and see what's up.

Curious, I had missed that Opera switched to Chromium as a base. Regardless however, it should still be being detected as Opera. And in fact, when I just downloaded it, it did detect as Opera just fine on the site that we use to backend the useragent displays. That says to me that something is wrong with yours. Did you download it from www.opera.com or from somewhere else?

If you could, take a minute to go to: http://useragentstring.com/ and copy the string from there and post it here. This is mine for Opera on Linux, fresh download just now:
Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.16
From Windows, only the part in parenthesis should be different.

To hell with it, just went and tested myself, and here's what it is for current Opera for Windows:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.154 Safari/537.36 OPR/20.0.1387.91

Which should be detected as Opera correctly since it is OPR/, but apparently the parser on his site isn't grabbing that correctly because it is actually detected as Chrome. Anyway, I've submitted a bug report to him about it and when it gets fixed it'll automatically update in each of your posts made with it.
