Gmail and Opera?

[Sansavarous]

I've found that about the only browser that I can use on gmail is 
Mozilla-1.7.2-r1 on Gentoo. I don't use windows for anything other then 
windows games. Gmail does not support Opera, don't know why.

Seems to me to be counter productive for gmail to restrict what browser one 
uses. One of the main reasons for webmail is to be able to get your mail 
anywhere on any system. Add to that they want you to use an piece of trash 
like IE. Sure it's nice to have 1Gig. I don't really see the point. 'course 
I've my own mail server, if I need more storage I add it. I think I've got 
about 3Gig free.

I got a gmail account so I'd be sure to have my chosen nickname reserved, and 
to see what all the hoopla is about. The interface is nice and the options 
are handy. Thing is Yahoo and Hotmail are just about as good and they work in 
Opera.
