Opera Software claimed Thursday that Microsoft's MSN home page is deliberately coded to put its Opera Web browser in the worst possible light, raising allegations that MSN has faced in the past of purposefully designing its pages to stymie access via non-IE browsers.
Opera laid out its claim in a detailed report on its Web site, saying that MSN is sending a faulty style sheet to Opera 7-identified browsers that hides some text and displays a subset of the page's content, possibly leading users to conclude that Opera itself is broken.
Microsoft has admitted that it sends different style sheets to different browsers -- not that there's anything wrong with that -- and says it is looking into the problem.
