Microsoft Sends Broken Stylesheets to Opera

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the accidents-happen dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Register has a story that the MSN homepage serves a different style sheet to the Opera web browser that makes Opera appear to be broken. Is this deliberate or a mistake? Who can possibly say? Opera's own take on the situation can be found here." This is not the first time.

    It's not that MS didn't make provisions for Opera. It's intentionally sending a broken style sheet. If you tweak the user-agent string (change Opera to, say, Oprea), it sends the "normal" style sheet, and Opera can render it just fine.

    This is obviously an intentionally different style sheet. They went out of their way to send a different set of data to Opera than they do to any other browser in the world. And it's broken.

    I'm just the type of person that'd rather look at all the details than try to find details to support a bias.
    Then why the hell didn't you?
