That would block a particular ad image and not the frame or container the ads are in. I'd block one ad and then another will appear in its place.

well i must of blocked all their ads then cose i don't see any on facebook anymore.

this is the advantage FF has over opera... the ad-block addon.

Yeah Firefox does have a better adblocking feature when the adblocking extensions are installed. I'm sure Opera will try to improve it.

LeperousDust · 07-02-2008, 19:04

Unfortunately Opera won't since they aren't open source, blocking adverts would put big companies against them, its the wrong message...

MarcLister · 07-02-2008, 20:46

Well to be precise, they aren't blocking the ads. We are. Opera are just giving us the ability to block ads. And they are doing that now.

LeperousDust · 07-02-2008, 21:38

Yeah but thats why they've never made it easy, unlike firefox's extension...

Here is a decent article...

Hmm a bit of an interesting situation/loophole that. Nice article to read. Thanks.

I just hope their web development tools improve so that we have a decent DOM inspector rivalling that of Firefox. I have to say that the DOM inspector and the Web Developer/HTML Validator/Firebug extensions make FF bloody brilliant for making websites/pages.

They will get a lot better, but that's down for Opera 10 development I'm afraid, as Dev tools are seen as improvement on functionality but not core to the browser (of course), 9.5 is about core engine development, and 10 is about making it nice to look at and use...
