Adblock in Opera

Alex_L · 20 Mar 2006 at 15:23

I've recently switched to opera version 9.0 as firefox i've found getting slower recently and using huge amounts of memory. I've found opera to be great and definitely feels quicker, but the one thing I miss is the adblock plugin from firefox, so are there any alternatives for opera?

thx

The next version of Opera has built in content blocking although that is still in beta.

I use Admuncher, not free but very reasonable, which blocks ALL ads and popups in ANY browser and is a much easier way of doing things.

I can't seem to get this program working? I can't find the opera6.ini file it asks for, but can only find an operadef6.ini file which the filter setup doesn't seem to like that mucheo..

Opera 9 has it's own built in adblocking as stated above

Right Click > Block Content

i'm using the beta with the built in blocker, but from what i can tell i have to manually block everything, which is a pain unless there is a way of importing filters into it?

That's the only problem with the blocked content I'm having in Opera 9 preview 2. I'd like to see an import function for using files like the filter.g set.
