Opera test drive

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!

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.
