Please, Fix Google Docs in Opera

I love Opera. I want to use Opera. It's the best browser ever made BUT I can't use Opera. Why? Because in my work we use Google Docs extensively and GDocs DON'T WORK in Opera, specially spreadsheets. So PLEASE fix GDocs, I'm fed up of having to switch to chrome or ffox just to use Google Docs.

I understand your feelings but this not something which Opera can deal with to a great extent. Google purposely sniffs Opera from Google Docs and some features don't simply work. Opera Sitepatching team has made efforts to make some Google Docs features work in Opera but still Google sniffs Opera from it's most Docs features. But as a suggestion-

1. Use Opera Wahoo Alpha (version 12.00 Alpha) as your main browser. Opera 12 Alpha is quite stable, but HWA and WebGL are not. So you can use Opera 12 Alpha as your main browser without any issues if you just disable Hardware acceleration. To disable Hardware acceleration go to opera:config. Now in the Quick Find box, type 'Enable Hardware Acceleration'. There will be only one search result. Set the value of 'Enable hardware Acceleration' setting from 1 to 0 and click the Save button.

You might think why I am suggesting you Opera Next?
Because Opera Next (Opera 12 for now) includes the new HTML5 parser called Ragnarok. There were some bugs in Opera's old parser (in Opera 11.51 and below) which have now been rectified by this new HTML5 parser. Some errors in Google Docs might be fixed by this.

2. Go to Google Docs in Opera Next. Right-click on any blank space on the page, and select 'Edit Site Preferences...' from the context menu. In the Site Preferences dialog, click the Network tab. On the Network tab, set Browser Identification to 'Identify as Firefox'.

I hope you enjoy using Opera and this problem is fixed. Wish you a happy browsing experience with Opera.

Thanks for the answer dude!! Be sure I'll try it. Do you think there's something users like me can do? Like send emails to some google address with this issue? Start some Facebook campaign or something? I'll do whatever I can to keep using Opera.

Aren't there options for Opera to provide greasemonkey scripts and other methods to stymie Google sniffing?

What's the status with all wonderful cooperation and partnership and W3C membership? What is Opera willing to do or doing to shame Google in supporting the any compliant browser campaign?

This lack of support for Google documents is a MAJOR issue. Yet to my eye it is NOT receiving attention. What good is a browser that can not for whatever reason support a major website. If Firefox can then Opera should be able to also. This is a very longstanding issue - how long and how much patiences should Opera users have? This ISSUE must be solved in some manner and it must be a top priority too. If Google isn't playing fair, then why isn't Opera publicly and loudly calling on Google to mind their motto and do no harm!

Lately the gdoc support has gone from bad to worst. The new version of gdoc doesn't wish to work with opera at all.

BTW why is so darn difficult to search Opera forums for support on this or anything else?

We can boycott google if it's purposedly blocking google.
This is why communities exist.
