Yes, a similar approach is what use, but there are lots of
privacy/anonymity issue yet that those doesn't know how to resolve.
The worst one is that Opera sends its proper user-agent "opera 9.xx"
when required via https, and says the OS you are running, all that
without your permission nor giving you any clue that this it's
happening, nor giving you the option to address it if you want.
Someone said in this mailist (I los its mail!) that this is forged in
opera code binary, perhaps they do this for propaganda and statistics,
as they are now paid (seems) by google and advertised links that detects
this way that the request is from an opera browser.
