---- Browser Wars : Wells Fargo Blocks Opera

Wow, money rules the world. Who would have thought? All joking aside, this policy is probably motivated by Wells Fargo wanting to protect themselves from obscure browsers that could result in security problems. Regression testing must be a ridiculous chore already because they're an online bank. Adding a new browser, even if it's just Opera, could create a lot of additional work and risks. Plus Opera displays contextual ads - technically it should be possible to securely run adsense and use an online bank but why open yourself up to silly risks?
