Redirection Error

Every time I try to access a specific website I am redirected to the Google homepage where "upgrade browser" is pre-typed in the search box. It only happens when I try to visit this one sight which is just a retail site, nothing special about it.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Is it possible that the website itself is redirecting you to that Google web-page?

Welcome and please read: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=64698 and http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=165474

Without the site's address, no one will be able to help you.

I am 100% sure that it is not the website that is redirecting me. My friend was able to access it on her computer and I can access it on my smartphone. The web address is: www.bestbudgetbuys.co.uk.

Thanks.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think this website is detecting the browser using PHP (definitely not javascript) and is redirecting to google.com if you are using Opera. I am able to access the page with Chrome, but not with Opera. Apparently this website doesn't support Opera :S

@mulgeen: Which browser is your friend using on her computer?
