Excellent Point. Guess Which Sites Commonly Do This?

This is an excellent point, and in my experience, it is financial sites, online banking, credit card companies and the such who are very careful about checking what browser you are using. I used to have exactly this problem with my bank when I first started using Opera. Obviously lots of others as well, but these kinds of sites are exactly the ones that you want to be sure that it works with, and which are likely to barf when they see a browser that they don't recognize. They are also, for obvious reasons some of the slowest to update, as any and all changes have to be very carefully checked and tested.
