    So if you happen to enjoy using Opera as your preferred web browser, and also enjoy watching Netflix on your computer, you'll be disappointed to find out that Neflix doesn't support Opera. If you try to watch Netflix using Opera, you will get this screen:

    Instead of detecting the browser's supported features, Netflix concludes that Opera is is unable to stream their videos because Opera is not among the supported browsers listed. To get around this, go to the Netflix website and enter the Opera menu > Settings > Quick Preferences... > Edit Site Preferences....

    In the new window go to the Network tab and Change Browser identification to "Mask as Firefox" or "Mask as Internet Explorer."

    Retry streaming your Netflix movie, and enjoy!

    They got rid of Dexter on Netflix, so I have no use for it anymore.

    I've been using Opera, partly because Firefox's numbering scheme change annoyed me, partly because I've gotten so used to mouse gestures. I like Firefox and Chrome too, but I don't find anything wrong with Opera, it's a capable web browser, despite some websites telling you otherwise: "Your browser seems outdated. To get the best [blahblah].com experience please install [whatever browser]." I don't use web browsers that don't support all "big three" operating systems; support for mobile operating systems are a plus.

    I dislike it. I can't say what it is. It just annoys me more than the others.

    You're suggesting that all browsers annoy you to some degree.

    That was probably the intent.

    Many things annoy Makaze. It'd be harder to find things that don't annoy him.

    Makaze reminds me of a certain depressed character in a novel, the first one that speaks:

    Sorry, been reading this novel again for like the fifth time.

    That is correct.

    What character is that, and what novel is it? You have me curious.

    EDIT: Never mind, don't answer that. I should read quote titles more.

    The book, Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You, is by Peter Cameron, I have read three of his novels. The narrator's name is James Sveck. The film adaption has no official cinematic release dates for conventional theaters.

    Look at this one quote praising Someday:

    Now look at that again:

    The stock photo used for the cover for Someday:

    Wouldn't it go perfectly as your avatar?

    Hm... It would, if I used real people in my avatars. Reminds me a bit of jojoj13's.

    I am glad that you think so highly of me. Thank you for the compliments.
