Unofficial patch for running Google services in Opera
Opera has made some great strides in the browser wars recently, with amazing support for Windows Mobile devices and the Nintendo Wii video game console. Opera 9.2 for the PC also adds some nifty new features like a Speed Dial function that lets you set 9 different pages as a sort of home page.
