I use Opera 12, the latest version available for Linux (which is still supported). Not that this really matters, since no browser other than IE/Firefox/Chrome/Safari will work...

IMHO It's always best to assume the user's browser will work, unless you have a good reason to think otherwise, for example you know a version has a specific bug, or a certain feature is missing (it's often easy to detect this). so blacklist, rather than whitelist.
Even then, it may just be a good idea to just display a warning, and let the user continue. *Maybe*, the user knows what he/she is doing, or just *maybe*, you detection script is broken, or *maybe* something changes in browsers, etc...
