      Nice thought about opera.dll, though I changed mine to the lowest possible number, 100. Also, since the actual Firefox's string still has "20100101," I don't think the date matters.

      While you're at it, the same can be done for IE's user agent (along with the change to Trident 7.0).

      For anyone wanting the old underlined results, too:

      #rcnt a { 
      text-decoration : underline !important
      }

          Hy! I've been having the same problem, currently I run Opera 12.17. I searched far and wide but i could not find a solution. Then it hit me ... I loaded google start page and did the following: Hit F12 -> Edit Site Preferences -> Network -> Browser Identification -> Make as Internet Explorer . For me it worked beautifully, I hope it will help you to. Good Luck! 🙂

            This is poorly working solution.

              @stng, good find! It works well on 12.14 here - at least, it will until Google decides to mess with their site code again. The problems with globally setting the user agent string to something other than old Opera is that some sites that sniff browsers actually do create code for specific features available only in particular browsers and then deliver custom site code tailored for those specific browser models. In such cases, that code can break if viewed in a different browser lacking such features or implementing them differently. The ability to define 'site preferences' within the browser itself and via the override.ini file is one of the very most valuable features of Presto Opera, and significantly under-rated by many - sadly.

                Mask as Internet Explorer. You can set the preference only for the google site if you like. (right click, Edit Site Preferences, network, Mask as Internet Explorer)
