Gmail in opera

[joejoe666]

last 2 days, gmail keeps doing this...

"Some important features may not work in this version of your browser, so you have been redirected to the Basic HTML version. Upgrade to a modern browser, such as Google Chrome."

WHY??!!!???

Works fine for me.

 

[tommo123]

me too. ajax or whatever runs slow in opera for me but it works.

 

[joejoe666]

i changed the site preference for browser identification and it works for me again.

gmail never had a problem in opera for me...

 

[Chiefcrowe]

don't usually have a problem with it except for the slowness and a few bugs with the new compose window.
But, the slowness could also be my computer partially.

 

[tommo123]

i have chrome installed too and while gmail is fine and dandy in chrome, there's a certain lag in opera.

not a PC issue, it's gmail and opera IMO.

 

[Chiefcrowe]

FYI it runs faster in 12.10

There was some contention between Opera and Google. I think they removed Opera from their supported browser list after the Facebook/Opera partnership discussions.

I use FF and find it is slower than Chrome for Gmail, but that's to be expected and of no concern to me. Probably going to be a similar experience with Google products on anything but Chrome.

Never had issues with Gmail and Opera and I use it every day,even with new version of Opera and Win8 it still loads very fast.

i switched to the new compose option in gmail. everything works ok except the attachment part. when i press it, nothing happens. but after i press the attachment icon and i type something in the email body or click on the camera icon or the link icon, then the option to add an attachment shows up.

if i only click on the attachment icon and do nothing else, the option to add files does not appear. you guys have the same issue?

but if i upgrade to latest i get crashes several times a day. and that's without enabling gpu support.

 

[Chiefcrowe]

don't know what to say about the crashes..
so far it hasn't crashed for me. what if you enable HW accelaration?

 

[Chiefcrowe]

after trying for some time, i finally gave up on trying to use gmail in opera. It just does not work right and is much slower than firefox!!

12.02 was crashing every time I tried to exit, 12.10 fixed this problem.

 

[tommo123]

Chiefcrowe - was the same. i enabled it to begin with then disabled due to crashes

might try again now i'm on win8. who knows.

that damn tab stacking bug is still there though

WHY??!!!???

Welcome to the rest of the universe. There's a ton of sites that don't recognize Opera and keep recommending me to upgrade to a "modern" browser, IE9, Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Bah!

 

[Dude111]

I prefer the basic HTML interface myself as all i want IS A BASIC EMAIL PLATFORM... That other interface is slow/ugly crap!!!!!!!

I dont use gmail that much however as i DO NOT TRUST GOOGLE!!

i'm trying 12.10 now - OMG what a pain in the ASS

set it up, copied the session file from opera11 (did a new install for 12) and opened it. 5 windows and 100+ tabs all set to "do not show images". grrr.

and that damn tab stacking shiiiit is still there
