aeTIos, Don't you dare say that. Even though I do not use Opera often, DJ_O is one of the only people I really know that use Opera on a regular basis, and it is actually pretty good, and contains some extra features no other browser has.
With the Opera button ( I don't really like the traditional menu in browsers much anymore), and better customisation of layout than pretty much every other browser (without any extra addons), Opera has it's advantages and disadvantages!

You can certainly tell DJ_O to use Chrome, but not to screw Opera! It is perfectly fine to have both!

Maybe this is caused by COPPA (or a similar law)? It's the most common source of 13-year age limits online.

Québec has a law that you can't call out directly children in advertisements, like "hey kids, plz buy this", instead they have to be like, "hey parents plz buy your kids this", dunno if it's related.

aeTIos I don't like Chrome because you cannot enable the classic Windows menu bar and after years I never got used to the new style. In Opera at least it let me re-enable it. As long as Chrome doesn't let me the freedom to choose, I'm sticking to Opera.

@Juju I actually didn't know we had any website law over here in Quebec until now. I remember one music site that asked me if I was 12 or higher, though.

Well, that law is more for TV ads, but dunno for websites. Hasbro probably got scared by reading this law.

Or maybe they decided to put the same page for every country. :P

I think the other countries don't have this restriction.
