        Oftentimes websites do this to browsers their javascript detection routine doesn't identify the browser as something they've whitelisted. The browser is using the same rendering engine that exists in the latest version of Chrome, and almost everything is compatible with Chrome these days.

          Note how they said "device"? Sounds like they think you are using a phone ...

            Yes, they have a ugly browser "non"-detection!

            Resolving this? Yes!
            Get User-Agent Swithcer from https://addons.opera.com/de/extensions/details/user-agent-switcher/?display=en and select Chrome on Windows as User-Agent on the website.

              Or simply write marlboro an email and ask them to fix this.
              That way everybody else profits, too and usage statistics stay correct.
              (If everybody using Opera pretends to use Chrome on their site, there's no need to care about Opera since there are no visitors)

                Tabacco industry makes jokes.
                The website has no contact mail, in case of problems you have to WTF phone.

                  Well, You have to register with the site to have any hope of accessing it anyway.

                  Oh, and works fine in Opera Presto when identifying or masquerading as IE, but not as firefox.

                    I guess it's a reason to stop smoking 🙂 I just downloaded it. It's amazing. That User-Agent Switcher works.

                      On User Agent Switcher, if you set it at default, is that any different from giving it an Opera setting?
