How to Fix Google Reader in Opera

For some strange reason Google doesn’t like Opera, maybe its because they want everybody to turn towards Firefox. But due to its speed and other functionalities its gaining popularity among websurfers these days. I’ve seen lots of people who gave up IE or Firefox and switched over to Opera 9.

Like all other Google Products, Google Reader also doesn’t work in Opera, so an unknown coder has written a script which will make it work for you. All you have to do is:

  1. Download Reader.js
  2. Right click in the page your Google Reader page, click edit site preferences
  3. Go to scripting and see the box for choosing a file there? type in this…
  4. C:\Program Files\Opera\profile\cache4\reader.js
  5. and make sure you place that reader.js file in the folder of opera as indicated above.
  6. And you are done! refresh the page.

I ain’t a Opera Fan, but I use Opera sometimes to check my theme’s compatibility issues.

  • Seems that Google has a thing to Opera and it's not good. Lately, the Google Calendar was also smashed in Opera...
    It's weired that Opera is the first one to pass Acid3 though ;)
  • I'm having a problem installing Opera 9.02 on FC5.
    Every time I try to run it, it comes back with a "unable to find software information" error.
    When I try to run it from the command line, I get 6 conflict errors.
    I must add that I already have Opera 8.54 but I close it down before I try and run it.
  • Piotr: Thanks for the heads up, I think Google understood the pains of Opera users ;)
  • Google reader now works with Opera without any additional UserJS scripts. Yummy!
  • Don't use the cache folder for permanent storage, that's not smart... Simply create a new folder, for example under your profile directory, and download your user.js files to that folder. See 'Help > About Opera' is you want to learn where Opera currently stores data.

    The userscript checks for which website it is intended by itself, so you don't really need to use Site Specific Preferences, you can also enable 'User JavaScript' for all pages by selecting a directory for userscripts in 'Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Content > JavaScript options...'
