The original post was about security rather than browser compatibility, but for what it's worth Opera can leave fewer traces behind than other browsers do. I also use Opera to check online banking sites and have similarly had success with more than a couple of them. However, I had to mask the user agent as MSIE, or lately Firefox for it to work properly. -- Regards, Mick
