Opera 10

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Firefox/3.5.9.9Maybe we should give opera the same treat as Firefox.
BTW, what's the point to "correct" browser's Use-Agent?

not sure if this pertains to "correcting" a User-Agent, but i often times "fake" a User-Agent to a 'very old' UA so as to get a page rendering that is much more pleasing to the eye (my office webmail is one that comes to mind - i don't get all of the D@MN flyover CRAP by "pretending" to be MSIE 2.0; Windows 3.1)...

Regarding site-specific UA faking: What ProxRocks said.

I doubt that Opera is relevant enough for statistical subversion sniffing.

Generally: No need to give away more browser information than required for proper page display.
Firefox: Sort of a permanent test if UA string changes are still working.
And - for me - to get a clue about config usage in access logs.
