MSN sabotages Opera

February 6, 2003

Microsoft is again deliberately sabotaging Opera.

Just when you think they might have learned something from being sued over how they run their business, MSN has been purposefully sending a bogus stylesheet and a page with reduced content to people who use Opera.

Think it’s sour grapes? Over exaggerated? Blown out of proportion? Well, before you decide, read the evidence: Opera report on the problem as they investigated it.

Then read the reports from C|Net (Opera cries foul against MSN—again) and The Register (MSN deliberately breaks Opera’s browser, claims company).

Does this all sound familiar? Yeah, we’ve been here before. On October 25, 2001, C|Net reported MSN.com shuts out non-Microsoft browsers.

Did they actually get sued last time? By Opera?

No, I just meant the anti-trust suit
