Opera and the Google Toolbar

esoterroriffik · 01-30-2006, 07:17 PM

I've been using Opera as my web browser. While I have a Google toolbar installed on IE, I can't seem to install it on the Opera Browser. I really like Opera, is there another browser that is similar to Opera that is compatible with the toolbar? Or is there a hack I can use?

Unfortunately, Google hasn't yet got their Toolbar ready for Opera. You can only install it on Firefox and IE.

I believe it is due to the lack of popularity of Opear when comparing to IE and FF. But I am sure you can find some plugins in Opera website that try to do what Google toolbar does.

PS. Of course it won't be 100% the same

Let me see...in EU Opera has approximatelly half of popularity that all browsers based on Gecko (not only Firefox) enjoy...
What were you saying?

Well, we could probably make a city level graph on which browsers are used per city in the entire world. But WHO CARES!!!!!!
As long as your website works with all, you're alright. But either way, people look at the big picture (globally).

Well...the thing is Google pages doesn't work with Opera as well with Firefox. There are some quirks with Gmail, and a bit bigger with Googlemaps for example...

That's why you bug Google about fixing the problem.

It takes time in this case it seems...
(but TBH...Opera has few things a bit broken)
