Good on you for notifying the site. I've done so with other
sites that claimed Opera was an insecure browser, and in
most cases, by the following week I wasn't getting those
messages anymore.

I just wanted to remark that the end of your message to
Netflix sounds a bit testy - when reporting that Opera works
OK, I usually just state it as though they didn't realize it
and leave it at that. No need to throw accusations around
 I
think it'd be better well-received that way, too. (But if
they give you a snooty response, by all means let them have
it!)

Are you still getting that message every time? It is
possible to 
make it stop coming up. I made it stop a long time ago. I'm
not 
completely sure what I did, but I know it was easy to do. I

think that the way to do it may simply be to click on the
button 
to access Netflix with a different browser then accept and
keep 
the cookies it sends you. I think that once you do that, it

knows you've seen that annoying message already and doesn't
show 
it to you again.

I am not experiencing that phenomena. I have opera-9.10
installed on a
FreeBSD-6.2 system.

<opera ident>

Browser identification

Opera/9.10 (X11; FreeBSD 6 i386; U; en)

< end opera ident>
