I’ve been having a lot of fun playing with Opera (which I recently installed the latest version of), browsing in the “small screen” setting, which squeezes the page down into a 320 pixel wide ribbon, to accomodate palm pilots with 320×320 screens.
It’s funny when you’re using it on a regular computer, because it distorts things, leaves out images that it can’t deal with, and shrinks fonts somewhat randomly.
The resulting pages are perfectly readable, but extra-amusing.
. . . however, this is *all* I’ve been doing with Opera, since no matter how I tweak the cookie settings, yahoo! mail won’t let me log in, insisting my browser is refusing cookies. And that’s just a damn lie.







Try changing the UserAgent string. Maybe Y! doesn’t think your browswer will accept behave properly with cookies simply b/c it picks up that it’s Opera. Not too hard to do (in the preferences IIRC) and worth a shot.
