The Way to Block All Annoying Ads in Opera Browser
For different popular browsers, there are many ways to block website ads, such as Firefox add-on Adblock Plus, Chrome extension Adblock+. But unfortunately, there is no standard ad blocking application for Opera. Today, I will introduce you a simple way to block any type of ads like contextual ads, intext ads, Flash ads etc.
Yes, it is simple for it just uses inbuilt feature of Opera 10, while other browsers’ tricks need some third party softwares to do it.
In order to block ads, you should open Opera browser, go to Tools -> Advanced -> Blocked Content. Add the below listed links step by step and you are done. Now you need a filtering list of some sorts, that can identify ads on a page. Just Google around and you can find plenty, even AdBlock lists. Download the XML file onto your computer.
Now restart the browser and you won’t see any ads from the added ad servers.
Do you know of any other ways to block display ads in Opera? If you can’t tolerate and just want to fight them, try this way please.

well, thera are some useful methods
(by the way, the xlm file you say… WTF about it, you dont say example from where you get it or where to save it when done the search part)
->use the internal browser block content feature
-> read about urlfilter.ini file which has the url filter rules
-> search about advanced scripting, an opera version similar to adblock plus exists, but you have to train it, its based on blocked .css styles
