Gmail, when I hear that word, one thing comes in my mind…Great Service…but if you ask me now..I will say…huh…I used to love Gmail…

I use Opera as my default browser, currently using Opera 8 Beta 2. Everything used to work fine with it…Gmail used to work 100% perfectly and one morning I find that..Gmail people not allowing opera users to view JavaScript version (Full featured fast version)…

Now when you login to Gmail using Opera it shows message on top saying “For a better Gmail experience, use a fully supported browser. Learn more” and what you see is real bad version of Gmail with almost no options and slower than before…

You can star your mails, you cant view / change settings, you cant create / access filters. You can’t use spell check option while writing mails…only simple options available to view and reply to more…

If you want more features use Mozilla, Firefox , Internet Explorer, Netscape or Safari

That’s it, if you are using any other browser then we won’t allow you to use full featured version, even if your browser supports it

No option to change it back to full featured version….

I don’t understand why they are forcing users to use their crappy HTML version…which almost sucks…

Update: Found solution 😀 click on this link to view full featured version in opera..
