Is there anything particular holding this up? Is Opera lacking some API/
functionality or is it just very low priority?

No, the port is coming along quite nicely. You can see the code being reviewed 
on 
gears-eng@googlegroups.com.

I would also like to see Google Gears in Opera. The mobile AND desktop version. 
I've 
started a thread about Google Gears in the Opera forum. Hopefully by the time 
this 
post is read the thread will have attracted some attention from Opera users.

Gears is just one of the Google services that doesn't support Opera. Docs, Maps 
and 
Gmail support is also missing.

dertbox... All of those apps (aside from Gears) work just fine for me in Opera. 
If 
we're talking about the desktop version that is.

I realised my anti virus (antivir) was blocking the script for Docs, I'll go to 
work on 
trying to figure out why Maps fails. Sorry for OT.

Hey kids, lets stick to the topic at hand. This is not the forums.

Devs, can you update us as to where you are in the process? What problems 
you're 
facing? Is anything making Opera harder to support than other browsers?

Opera 10 actually acts differenet with Gears. GMail even shows Enable Gears 
support 
button in Opera 10, and that's not happening with Opera 9.6.

Opera is not as bad to not support this browser and make compatible products 
for it.

I enjoy Opera as it seems to be a browser built for people that know their way 
around the web.  I know the google guys aren't going to like this but, I have 
to be 
honest, I don't know why, but gmail runs like a bat out of hell on Opera 10.  
Page 
loading for almost everything in opera is fast, and almost blink of an eye fast 
for 
Gmail.  Now I'm on a Thinkpad T43, running 2GB with a 5400 HDD and 1.86.  My 
system 
is a speed demon and I still can't believe response time.  The only feature 
missing 
to me as far as google related apps is concerned is Gears support.

Thanks for considering this and no offense, I have chrome installed as well 
but... :-)

I think, google intentionally left its service incompletely supported on opera 
because 
they see opera as a competition to their chrome.... cuz obviously, opera is an 
awesome 
browser... bad, bad google :P
I've shifted from firefox to opera and google gears is the only thing, i am 
missing 
:(...

It's not Googles fault.  It's my understanding that opera mobile 9.5 has gears 
support, so it can be done, however the opera devs opted to skip gears for 
html5, at 
least that's what I've been able to piece together from various forum posts 
devoted 
to the topic.

HTML5 in addition to everything else it will do, also has support for offline 
storage 
functionality which is precisely what gears added.  Google will eventually 
obsolete 
gears for HTML5 support too, don't know when, but they will.

I wish a true desktop email client had the ability to manage email the way the 
gmail 
user interface did though.  I mean not creating a million copies of a message 
in each  
folder corresponding to a label it had, but simply allowing for tagging the 
same 
labels the web interface carries.  That and the thread view which I personally 
think 
is great.

HTH

Opera does give support for html5 right?
so that should mean, its theoretically possible for the google gears developers 
to 
provide support for the opera desktop browser....
(for offline storage atleast)...
if not, plz correct me...
and I too hope they go away from gears for html5 support soon enough....

Yes, Google announced to turn to HTML5 support from Gears, which is a very 
joyful step.

I also found this problem.

I think that in the light what HTML5 brings, Gears is obsolete.

Let's hope it will happen soon ._.

Yeah~ I want that too. Opera 10 doesn't have Web Worker. I still need 
gears,too!

@fearphage
Gears is dead google will stop developing it become most of it is implemented 
in HTML5

Original comment by theicema...@gmail.com on 26 Aug 2010 at 6:46

I understand that, but some sites like gmail still require gears for some 
functionality which blocks Opera from participating. Alternatively, it'd be 
nice to know when gmail wools make the switch, but I know this isn't the place 
for that. Just hungry for offline access one way or another.
