The difference between 2 browsers

Why the same site looks different in Opera and IE9 (there is much less information on this page opened with Opera)?

After all, it turns quite unjust if such a situation appears on many sites: Opera users do not even know that visited with Opera sites have much more information than they see.

Yes, I can confirm that the page when viewed in IE 9 is bigger than when the page is viewed in Opera. Don't know why - even masking as IE doesn't seem to cause any difference at all - BUT even when the page is viewed in Firefox it is not full and is identical to the page displayed by Opera.

So definitely not an Opera issue.

Yes, it did happen one time here but if it happens you can empty the cache, delete all cookies and then go to link mentioned by t-e-o, that would prevent redirection to mobile site - atleast it won't happen frequently.

Even without redirecting to mobile version Opera shows not whole information on this page. And Swapnil99pro said, that this is a problem not only Opera. It looks like only IE9 opens this page correctly.

All browsers work perfect here (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, IE). Except opera, which is not able to get there at all.
Unless you remove the url part below.

I expect it has something to do with this part of the url:
#!wallState=0__%2Fmovies%2Fout-and-about-nov-27-16577.gallery%3FphotoId%3D70813


However, you are browsing msn.com. The Microsoft Social Network.
So I am not surprised if this site is build to ONLY work with IE...
