Many sites discriminate the Opera users from viewing their site. The reason behind it was that opera had trouble loading sites however this issue has now been fixed. Yet some sites still say that you must have IE or FF to view this site. Luckily Opera allows users to cloak itself as other browsers. To change how sites view your browser go to the search box and type Opera:Config then go to User Agent. Change the number according to which browser you wished to be cloaked as.
