GMail Not Compatible with Opera

[Googler]

Why is Opera still not supported by GMail? It came first before Firefox but
GMail is now supporting Firefox.

Opera v7.60 Preview 1 build 7141 supports Gmail.

Because Opera is not a serious browser to worry about maybe?

Fewer and fewer people are happy to pay for an internet browser, when
mozilla was a big ugly ram eating dog then maybe but now firefox is a
serious contender and more and more people are switching to that.

Operas real power lies with mobile debives not the desktop, and google
has probably looked at the stats and decided to support the major
browsers first. Firefox in itself is not a major browser, but the fact
that Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox all share the same backend gecko
rendering engine means support one mozilla derivitave, support them
all.

both gmail and opera are working together on questions of compatibility.
gmail works in the most recent opera version, with some small
glitches, but functional nevertheless.

try the latest beta of opera. it work seamlessly in gmail, so i've
heard.

[Derek]

yeah opera is working with gmail w/o a problem on the latest release

Hi,
Thanks everyone for the heads-up on the Opera. It's my favorite
browser, and I'm very happy it works with Gmail on the 7.6 preview.

One minor but funny thing: The Inbox and Sent Mail tabs are reversed
on Opera! Kinda weird. Attached is the screen shot:

That is kinda weird. I really don't like opera. I don't know, seems
to me that IE works fine for me. I use that or firefox...

[Scott]

you'd have better luck posted the Q on the opera forums... well, if you
have no luck here. :P

i would also think that gmail would be quick to support opera because
if someone has the financial resources and interest to pay for a
browser when so many are available for free, then that person probably
represents a potential customer in an ideal market share.

Opera is an excellent piece of software and I would pay for it.
However it is not free software and I do no use it, then I cooperate
with my money with Mozilla Project (another excellent piece of
software).

yeh i don't think opera is bad at all. i actually think its a decent
browser despite the small fee. sometimes i think that it loads a
little faster than firefox... but i can't really tell if pages really
do or if its because of the eye candy that loads on the bottom of
opera.
