Google have always done their best to thwart Opera browsers from using their service, and this is a great response.
I'd like to know how fast Gmail is for Apps customers compared to the free version, though.
- stanleydrew 16y agoI'm wondering what you mean when you say that Google have done their best to thwart Opera users from using Gmail. Is this commonly accepted as true?
- kmfrk 16y agoGmail and other services have run very poorly in the past - and when Google isn't recommending Opera users to use a supported or modern browser, they outright block the user string of the browser directly or indirectly[1]. I don't know if Opera's JS execution was just so abysmal that Google Reader and Gmail couldn't run at all in their first years, or what went on. I had some more bookmarks on this, but I don't know where they are at the moment. Maybe I've misplaced them, or Opera sync botched something. I'll see if I can find some of them tomorrow.

- gnosis 16y ago"when Google isn't recommending Opera users to use a supported or modern browser, they outright block the user string of the browser directly or indirectly" Opera can mask itself as another browser. I've used this feature to circumvent some Google annoyances aimed at Opera.
- bcaulf 16y agoGmail now works very well on Opera with no performance problems or browser incompatibility warnings.
