Work-arounds for Gmail

NOTE: This fix should no longer be necessary, as it appears they've fixed their login script.

As you've probably noticed by now, Gmail doesn't work with Opera. Due to a bug in their login script, you can't even login. Well, here's a work-around (from Hallvord and Andrew Gregory):

  1. ID as Opera
  2. Click "sign in anyway" to get past their notice that Opera is an unsupported browser :sad:
  3. Type in your username and password
  4. Disable Javascript
  5. Click "Sign in"
  6. Enable Javascript
  7. Click "click here to continue"
Mind you, this won't fix some of the other problems you're bound to run into, but we're working on it. In the mean time, check out Andrew Gregory's Gmail page.
