Any one know of a pop-up stopper/Banner Blocker that is compatible with opera? I found one that does work but you cant put in a serial without them scanning it to see if it's real. ;)

Also norton security works with opera, but for some odd reason when i installed it, it only worked temporaly. ;)

I don't know about banners but you can block popups with Opera. Hit F12 and select Open requested pop ups only.

Take a look at this link to the Opera Forum (http://my.opera.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=32790&highlight=banner+ads). There are some suggestions on URL blocking with Opera and a few suggestions for external blocking programs. Hope this helps. Let us know.

Thx to someone here I switched from IE, then to Opera and now Firebird (which has exceptional ad blocking. However, what really blocks my ads/banners/popup (whatever u want to categorize them as) is Norton IS 2003 or 2004. new features in 2004 is flash and other new methods of popups.

for as long as I had NIS, I have not seen ONE popup/banner & if I was to get one, then it's simple, drag inside the banner to the trash of NIS and click add. that's all.

You should have it. I am using the 7.21 beta and it is located at Program Files/Opera7/Styles/User.

the best 'banner blocker' i've used is Ad Muncher (http://www.admuncher.com/) the only downside to ad-muncher is that it costs money. You can download the trial for 30 days but then you have to register it.

Cheers

P.S There are many crack/keygens out there for ad-muncher :ph34r:

@Agent Smith: Yeh i know i'd posted it before but you asked for an Opera compatible one so I decided I'd post it again seeing this is a different post.

I really want to start a project to make our own 'Ad Blocker' which naturally would be open-source and eventually bug-free :D

If anyone at all out there is interested and willing to help PM me.

Cheers :P
