Opera Adblock

[KilJaden]

Opera has built in popup blocker and an adblocking feature as well. Using the adblocking feature is as simple as downloading a text file and putting in the right folder.Opera's ad blocking works by referring to a file called url-filter.ini.There are many users who keep regularly maintained list of bad hosts and domains.

First method..

One of the most famous one and most used ones is Fanboy's Adblock list Click on the install now link or visit http://www.fanboy.co.nz/adblock/opera/urlfilter.ini. Save the file as it is to a folder and then move it to C:\document and settings\Your_User_ID\Application Data\Opera_folder\profile. Linux users must copy to the .opera folder.When done,resart the browser and ad blocking will be enabled.Visit the site from time to time to update your adblock list.

Second method

1. Locate your Opera CSS directory; Go to Opera menu, Help, About.

IE: User CSS directory, /home/orakk/.opera/styles/user/

2. Close Opera. In the css directory create a blank file called

"adblock.css" or anything else you'd like to name it .

3. Now go to Ad Blocking FiltersetP at userstyles.org, click

the button "Show Code" and copy everything into "adblock.css"

Save and close the file.

4. Open Opera and then select "View-->Styles-->adblock.css"

My favorite method is the first one simple and efective, and when ever fanboy's list misses anything you have a very easy way to block an ad: Right click in a page - Select Block Content ... . In the new window a simple SHIFT Click on an add/image will block it forever, just make sure you click done after selection that image. Simple and efective without other programs and/or addons.

ooo. I like it, that was always one of the disadvantages of Opera, no adblocking. Not anymore!

Like i said opera has built in add/script blocker the only issues is copying the right file in the right place, or if you have time to spare build you're own :nono:
