Opera 9 is out, and GMail works perfectly in it. This makes me very, very happy. Now, there’s absolutely no reason for anyone not to use Opera, so ha!

Except… if EVERYONE used it, then it would probably end up like Internet Explorer, Windows, and everything else that’s practically ubiquitous, meaning that more security vulnerabilities would be exploited in it. So really, I don’t want everyone in the world to use Opera. I rather like my status as a Web-browsing minority, thank you very much.

I would, however, be a lot happier if people stopped acting as though Firefox were the only alternative Web browser in the world.
