It's technically interesting, but made bad impression on me by using broken User-Agent sniffing. It supports Opera 10.6, but serves Opera 11 version without JavaScript along with passive-aggressive message.

Same happens on iPhone when you use iCab (exactly same engine as supported Safari, just different UA string).

Such modern site spoiled by bad practice from '90s :(
