ZZOOzzoo Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Finally, Opera will be no longer criticized for imcompatibility with Gmail. Very good example of how Opera as a company cares about what their customers really need.

ZZOOzzoo Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Works great, the only thing I miss in Opera is an adblocker... 585532092[/snapback] Actually, there IS adblock add-on for Opera. http://www.monroeworld.com/operafilter/ Also, you can use Ad-Muncher which is superior to any other existing ad-blocker, which is unfortuanately not free.
