Guys!
Note: This might not be a new trick for advanced users but for novice users this may/may not be useful. If you are unable to do this, refer to google web accelrator's help.

Do you use Google Web Accelrator(GWA) to speed up your internet connection? But it works on IE 5.5+ or Firefox 1.0+. If you like Opera or any other browser and would like GWA to accelrate the net on it, then do this:

In Opera, press Ctrl+F12. Now go to the last tab i.e. Advanced and select Network in the left menu. There select Proxy Servers. Now go to HTTP proxy and enter 127.0.0.1:9100 in the textbox and in the port 80. Set Opera your default browser and see the difference!

Actually you are right. Sometimes instead of opening the website, opera shows an error page. But i have observed one thing that after we set the proxy server, GWA has to be running in the background. Else it does not work.
