As a matter of fact, they do try to block Opera aggressively from their Google Apps. Gmail on Opera (Linux version only) will force you to use the HTML-only version of the site, while display a message telling you to switch to a more modern browser (even though Opera is usually the most standards-compliant browser at any given version compared to its rivals), linking to Google Chrome. I searched on the internet for this, and it seems to happen to non-Linux machines too, but since reports of it are so scarce (Opera is probably the least used browser out there), no one seems to care. I'm very saddened by the results of the antitrust motion and I hope they get cornered again on antitrust issues. Google and Apple are the new MS, really.
