Opera ad block filters
Saturday, October 21, 2006 9:53:35 AM
Try Opera or Opera Mini to see the difference.
If you are new to content blocking in Opera, see tutorial.
Easy way to block ads is to disabling the IFrames & JavaScript globally and enabling them for required sites in site preferences.
To block particular JavaScript or IFrame ad in a page, open info panel, note path under Scripts or Inline frames and add it to content blocker.
To block flash use Flashblock for Opera 9.
From Opera 9.50, you can enable/disable content blocker globally using Block Ads button or per site basis using site preferences.
- Large urlfilter.ini file will increase startup time of Opera.
- You will get blank page when you try to visit a site blocked by content blocker in version below 11 and the following message in version 11.
Web Address Blocked
The address XYZ is blocked by the content blocker. To undo the block, open the context menu for the page, select the content blocker, and remove the address from the list of blocked content.
To undo the block, right-click on the page, select "Block Content", and click the "Details" button to edit the list of blocked content.
A frequently updated filters can be downloaded from
- www.fanboy.co.nz/adblock/
- pgl.yoyo.org/as/
- www.technobeta.com/posts/opera-ads/
- Ad Blocking FiltersetP CSS
- Filterset.G User JS
- AdSweep User JS
Optimized filter to block most of the ads
Add the following under [exclude] section of urlfilter.ini file (see this if you don't have one) after closing Opera.
*-ad.cgi* *-ads/* *.ad-* *.ad.* *.adbrite.* *.adrevolver.* *.ads.* *.adsonar.* *.adtomi.* *.advertising.* *.atdmt.* *.banner* *.blogads.* *.buysellads.* *.casalemedia.* *.chartbeat.* *.click* *.directtrack.* *.doubleclick.* *.etology.* *.fastclick.* *.google.*/adfetch* *.googlesyndication.* *.infolinks.* *.kontera.* *.linkbuddies.* *.mochibot.* *.overture.* *.pheedo.* *.qksrv.* *.quantserve.* *.roar.* *.slickkicks.* *.tradedoubler.* *.tradepub.* *.trafficzap.* *.tribalfusion.* *.vibrantmedia.* *.zedo.* */accresults.* */ad.* */ad/* */ad_* */adbot.* */adc_* */adclient.* */adcouncil/* */adframe.* */adgifs/* */adgraph/* */adimages/* */adinfo* */adlog.* */adlog/* */adrotator.* */ads.* */ads/* */ads_* */advert* */adview.* */affiliates/*.js */banner/* */banners/* */hotfreebies.html* */housead/* */liveads/* */pagead/* */phpads/* */pop.cgi* */pop.htm */pops/* */poptest.* */popup/* */printads/* */redir.asp* */skyscraper/* */softad/* */sponsor/* */sponsors/* */tw/adt* *120x240* *120x600* *120x90* *160x600* *234x60* *336x280* *468x60* *728x90* *_ad.js *_ad_* *_ads.js *_ads_* *_advert* *_adx_* *_banner_* *_borders/* *_superad* *a.p.f.qz.* *a.r.tv.* *ad-flow* *ad.trafficmp.* *ad_type* *adbot* *adclick* *adclix* *adclub* *adcycle* *adflight* *adframe* *adimage* *adknowledge* *adlink* *adlogix.* *admaximize* *admex* *admonitor* *adpulse* *adrunner* *adserv* *adsoftware* *adswap* *adtomi.* *aureate* *avenuea* *banner.* *banners.* *bluestreak.* *burstmedia* *burstnet* *clickxchange* *darkblue.* *darkbluesea.* *dbbsrv.* *exitpopup* *flycast* *focalink* *headerpopup* *hitexchange* *hitlist* *hitsites* *houseads_* *i.us.rmi.yahoo.* *imaginemedia* *intellitxt* *jsads* *linkads* *linkexchange* *linkpopup* *linkshare* *linksynergy* *media.fastclick* *paypopup* *popieen.* *popme.* *popunder* *popupad* *ps.interpolls.* *radiate* *secure.webconnect* *smartsize_* *spinbox.versiontracker.* *spylog* *subs.timeinc.* *toolbar.google.* *trafic.ro/* *us.a1.yimg.* *us.f.yahoofs.* *valueclick* *x.mycity.* *z.about.* *zdmcirc*

have you seen sites like yahoomail, it still suffers from ads when view email. It might be script based, but was wondering if by any chance something could be added to the list?
Thanks in advance.

Anyway, I don't mean to be a pest, sorry.
Do you know how I can UNblock google ads when using fanboy's urlfilter? I've been trying and I can't get it right.

A lot were the same, but some of mine were a little over-kill on some some sites.
The hardest to kill so far are the CSS Style Ads.

«*/tracker/*» breaks many Torrents.
mp3geek # Saturday, October 27, 2007 3:13:58 AM
*adclient* is listed among the filters I have, so it should be blocked. I did visit the site anyways, and no popup

I especially liked the ad-counter list as separate. Cuz I want opera to be counted among browser statistics.
Thanks again.
