It not only blocks ads in Opera but from anything. The HOSTS file is the first barrier that any internet site needs to pass to get into your computer. Simply the best way to do it. No install needed. Tiny download.

Yes it does. I've been using it for years. Not free, but it's worth every penny IMHO.

What's wrong with the built-in Content blocker in Opera then? I hardly ever see ads using it unless I want to (on some sites I choose to view ads to support them).

It works on all sites.

Don't right click on the ad, right click on a blank part of the page, select block content, then select what you want to block.
