Try new Opera 11

I just downloaded Opera 11 and its looks pretty good. The first thing I observed is its looks and the way it loads the we b pages. As usual it has much appreciated feature of blocking images and animations from loading. Also this version introduced concept of extensions and when looking at the developer’s guide I realized developing a extension is pretty simple and no nonsense involved. Just need to know html, css and javascript( Yeah…! no need to learn any fancy XUL).  

There is one more feature Opera Unite which promises a lot of revolutionary additions, yet to try that thing. Will post something on that soon once I explore it. Keep watching this space.

 

But make sure you download and try this, its too good. I have already made this browser my default browser.

GMail not working in Opera 11

I just downloaded Opera 11 and impressed with its speed and useful options like not loading images and animation to the page. Also impressed with the simplicity of creating extensions for opera. As I said impressed with its speed and looks and I have decided to make it my default browser instead of chrome. Then I found the worst thing, gmail does not work and throws a message Connection closed by remote server. I am not sure whose fault, if its gmail’s fault its worst case blocking a competitor. Its totally unfair. Hope I will figure out a away to make gmail work and keep opera 11 as my default browser on my system.

 

As on update looks like Opera does something with gmail javascript resulting it to fail to load just check this thread
