Great!
But what I really hate about opera is that gmail opens in old version and AOL.com is so messed up. Opera also doesn't support many websites

NO such problems with Gmail here. And It's AOL's fault not Opera's.

What problems are you facing? Gmail works fine here (the standard v with chat).

The new Opera standard skin is better than the mac native skin on OS X :)

Mac native skin for Opera.

Oh. Btw the difference between the native mac look and the new look is very marginal. But it is huge when one considers the current native windows look and the new look.

I meant the *new* mac native skin. The old mac native skin looks like Pallab designed it for them.

Ahem.. you just couldnt resist having a digg at me!
Actually many Mac users are not happy with the new skin. I read some comments in their forum stating it crap in Mac.
Oh, well its definitely the best looking browser for Windows.

Yeah, the loading dialogue box doesnt work in Opera and google refuses to allow gmail labs to work in anything but ie and fx.
