"As presented at the Opera Backstage event in London today, Opera 9.1 will include enhanced fraud protection. Today we display the name of the certificate owner in the right end of the address field when you're on a secure site. In 9.1 we will reuse that field to display more information about the trust level of the site you visit."

Good to see more useful features in Opera. It is my browser or choice when using Windows, and has been since they fixed the popup-windows-demaximize-all-other-MDI-windows problem (around 5.* IIRC). Of course outright blocking popups was even nicer 
So additional fraud protection fits nicely into their continuing improvements.
Google -- for months they'd purposely block Opera from Gmail
Yeah I really don't understand it. They do the same to Konqueror, which works fine when identifying as Firefox.
*edit: fixed typo

Gmail works pretty well with Opera 9.x.
Note that the problem, as usual, is/was on Google's side. There's nary a company out there that's nearly as deadset against web standards and alternate browsers as is Google -- for months they'd purposely block Opera from Gmail, Google Maps, and so forth (identifying as Firefox would allow passage). Even Microsoft wasn't so draconian with Hotmail (they tried to block Opera, but only for a week or two).
