- stordoff 6y agoOpera 10 faced the same issue: > The user agent for Opera 10 (eg Mac platform, English locale) will be as follows: Opera/9.80 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X; U; en) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.00 > When we released the Opera 10 alpha in December last year, we gave it a Opera/10.00 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X; U; en) Presto/2.2.0 user agent string. [...] It appears that a considerable amount of browser sniffing scripts are not quite ready for this change to double digits, as they detect only the first digit of the user agent string: in such a scenario, Opera 10 is interpreted as Opera 1. https://maqentaer.com/devopera-static-backup/http/dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-ua-string-changes/index.html https://maqentaer.com/devopera-static-backup/http/dev.opera....
