Opera Support for Google Wave

Monday, September 28, 2009 2:06:44 AM

, ,

Robert Nyman and Lars Gunther also seem puzzled about the omission of Opera from the Google Wave browser list.

Any product managers from the Google Wave or Chrome team want to clue everyone in? (Cue "Jeopardy" music now.) wink

Send them feedback that you want Opera and other to use the site. A site limiting what browser can get in also limits the customers that can get in

Opera Linux doesn't work with wave :/

Since browsers support web standards I would think that writing code using web standards would minimizes the browser related bugs.

If it is a bug in the browser most have an easy way to report bugs

Well the log in is using HTML 5 (tho it is not yet even a standard, but I think since browser are using some parts, they are testing it)

You can safely enter the site but it's really slow and in the end the UI says that something went wrong probably because something timed out somewhere. Wave is already pretty slow on my machine (1.5 GHz) with Firefox 3.5. 3.6 is a bit better, but it's still unusable. For the record, I use Opera too. =)

What part of HTML 5 is Google Wave using?

I relay want opera to work with wave because it would be the perfect platform to share stuff with opera unite. I have about 10 friends who are beata testers and we all had to go back to firefox.

There is one funny thing about that HTML 5 is not even a final spec, there might be some parts that might be final

Opera is the buggiest browser right behind IE (IE's definitely worse), so it doesn't make the job firefox/chrome easy. Opera is next in line on the list of popularity--they've got the other 4 already covered now--so expect it to be working in Opera soon. I love Opera and can't wait. -wb

Well, the javascript shouldn't be the problem, at least not with Opera 10.50 as they say it loads javascript 8x as fast as previous versions! although very buggy at the moment (beta after all) it is a beautiful and nice browser. smile

Wise man without a name writes: I really beg to differ with the moron who called Opera is buggy. Any final release of Opera is fast, responsive, and what I love most about Opera is that it strikes a brilliant balance between performance, and CSS-JS support. Of course, the FF Engine is built beautifully for JS and rounded corners, but FF is BUGGY. From memory leaks to large startup time, FF is overrated.

Wise man without a name writes that person looks like they were talking about the 10.5 beta and it has bugs as any software does (one reason for updates)

Opera's buggy? More often than not it's the websites that are buggy. Opera isn't as forgiving about people being lazy with their coding, something I wish more browsers would do to push developers to do a good job. If you design along the standards, you should have little to no problems in other browsers (sans IE, but even Microsoft's slowly getting the message).

Excuse me, but this is plain BS. You should do some research before stating something that wrong.
