IE/chrome/FX Tab with a twist

@ the moment we can open a 'new tab' and 'new private tab'
what if u could add a 'new IE tab', 'new FX tab' and/or 'new chrome tab' (when u right click '+')
i dont wnt 2 use other browsers, but until all sites support opera, we need a fix of this sort!!!!!

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=503611 (will this help)
it works with 10.51 and 10.52

'open with' is not really practical. could just as well open from windows quick launch,
and then 2 browsers r open.
'mask as' does not really work (not that i have seen yet)

do u think this could be a practical solution?
can it b done?

imo not gonna happen as adding such a feature in the default install would convey the message that they don't trust their own engine (which would really suck, as esp. the opera engine is damn neat)

depends on the site, some sites are blocking opera (or delivering bad code) simply because of the user agent string. for those sites it does wonders (just check out the override_downloaded.ini in your opera preferences file to see where spoofing helps and where it is enabled by default because of that smile)

I for my part avoid sites that don't work with opera (I am on linux anyhow, I am done with sites requiring IE) and leave them a message that I don't use their service because they fail to support my browser.
All my posts only represent my own opinions.

i would like to think that the message that they are conveying is "we want to make all sites work even if they dont support opera"
there are so many new users that go back to there old browsers because they cant do internet banking or what ever.
