Thank you so much, I love Opera and I have been all over the internet trying to find a way to block ads the way I was able to do with Firefox. You’re suggestions were a great help and much appreciated. Once again…Many Thanks.

One more pattern your readers might like: http://*urchin.js

This one blocks in-depth tracking of your browsing habits by Google, via every site you visit that uses Google Analytics for traffic analysis – and that's a LOT of them. I use Analytics on my own sites and ones I maintain, but I certainly don't mind missing a few statistics here and there when SMART people drop by.

This will not work if you have a Google toolbar; its primary function is to track 100% of the user's online activities, not just those that happen when on sites that use Google Analytics. Also of possible interest: Privoxy, the successor to Internet Junkbuster, is a cross platform ad filter and cookie controller that works for all browsers on all major plaforms.

Actually, it is possible to block adds by clicking on them, instead of filling it in manually in a blocklist.
Click anywhere on a webpage with the right mouse button. It doesn’t matter where, as long as it’s not on a link or a text box. Then select “Block Content”.
Now you can do 2 things:
- Click on an add with the shift button pressed. This will only block the specific add.
- Click on an add without shift button. It will block more agressively, often a large part of the domain.

Especially the last option works very well and it doesn’t have to block the entire site. Just the annoying part. If after this you keep getting the same advertisements (which rarely happens), you can always open the block list like described above and change a block to be more agressive.

There is only one disadventage for the Opera ad blocker: It has difficulties blocking some types of advertisements.

Many thanks for the list. One of the sites I regularly visit gets hijacked by another making it near impossible to view it. I added the addresses to my browser’s blocked content and I can visit the site with no annoying hijack ad-page coming up.. Many thanks.
