Ad block plugin for opera

[drgrudge]

Opera has the ability to run external programs and scripts and pass various information to them from Opera commands. One use of this is to pass the address of an advert or other content that is annoying you to such an external tool and it can then edit a UserCSS file automagically and add in the advert to a blocklist. There are currently three flavours to this: the first using the large and powerful Python, the second the tiny Lua environment and the third a C++? executable (which means it does not need any additional libraries to be used).

It’s a pity that Opera doesn’t have integrated support for the Windows hosts file.

Anywayz, Opera is a good browser and works well with AdFilter provided by www.monroeworld.com

Hey, thanks for pointing out that, Indi!

@ Indy and anuj, the ad filter u refered was a old one and i knew it long time itself, i beilve i told that to u anuj at oober.

That adblocker is not integrated with opera and we have to run it as a third party software. This one which i mentioned integrated with opera itself

Observation:
Its too cumbersome to install for new users!
U have to create some CSS file!
Also, if you go for the python version, you have to download the python environment, which is about 10.5 MB! Too much for dialup-pers!
If you go for the Lua one, then you have to download Lua environment, which is roughly 86 Kb.
The third version, the C++ one, is pretty buggy! Go to that site itself to find out more!

Conclusion:
Its too cumbersome for new users!

yeah, I remember drgrudge.
The Ad filter may be an old one, but its database can be updated over the internet to block most of the adservers in Opera
