And user-agent sniffing (guessing from the 'lying to be safari' comment) is the right way to go here? Really?
If you don't want to support 'every browser under the sun' and really think that looking at the user-agent is a good idea (It's not..): Show a small notice that the experience might be degraded. Politely. And still serve your content to the user that is interested in what you have to offer.
Opera's market share? Uhm... Are we ignoring the mobile market or not for this (useless) sidetrack question?

- Wilya 15y agoThey show a small notice when you access it via a direct link to a public post. And they definitely use some useragent white-listing. Feels like 2004 again.
- nightpool 15y agoUser-agent sniffing or not, Plus still works on Opera Mobile under Android, no notices. So, the mobile market is irrelevent.

If an engineering hour can be used to make more money elsewhere it should be. Frankly I wouldn't have cared about Safari on the nonmobile website. But that is just me.
