same thing happened with Opera 10. you were notified that your browser is 'too old'


Yup.

I'm using Opera 12.16. The User Agent starts with Opera 9.80 (the last version before 10 was 9.6x). Apparently, too many sites would use a regex to parse the first digit after "Opera" and check if it was higher than 6 or 7. Opera was thus forced to identify itself inaccurately.
