On Demand Plugin & Opera Turbo

, , ,

Since the innovation of Opera Turbo, many have fall in love with a side-effect in Opera Turbo known as On Demand Plugin (ODP), which behave very much like Firefox's extension Flashblock. However ODP not only capable of blocking Flash but also all plug-in content embedded on the web-page. ODP become a standalone feature in Opera 10.5, which allow us to browse with ODP even without Opera Turbo enabled. And here is a few tricks to improve your ODP browsing experience...

A. Buttons
Button A: ODP
Single-click to toggle ODP ON/OFF, click & hold to refresh page

Button B: ODP
Single-click to toggle ODP ON/OFF, click arrow to refresh page


B. Setup Shortcuts
1. First, go to Preferences (Ctrl+F12) > Advanced > Shortcuts > Mouse/Keyboard Setup.
(& create a new mouse/keyboard setup, if you didn't do that already)

2. Next, double-click on a Mouse/Keyboard setup you want to use, select Application section.

3. Finally, create/modify a shortcut with your preferred MG/Hotkey with the following actions:

Set preference, "User Prefs|Enable On Demand Plugin=1" > Set preference, "User Prefs|Enable On Demand Plugin=0"


C. Setup Menu
If you don't know how to edit menu setup, read this TUTORIAL before you proceed further...

1. First, open standard_menu (1).ini with text editor.
(Renamed standard_menu (1).ini to something else to prevent Opera from overwrite it)

2. Next, search for [Quick Preferences Menu] section, then add these lines under it:

Item, "Enable On Demand Plugin"=Set preference, "User Prefs|Enable On Demand Plugin=1" > Set preference, "User Prefs|Enable On Demand Plugin=0"

3. Finally, fire-up Opera & select the newly modified menu setup to apply the changes you just made.

D. How It Works?
Just use the button or the shortcut you setup, you can also access the command via Quick Preferences Menu (F12) to toggle ODP ON/OFF. I added 2nd function to the buttons, which allow you to refresh web-page with ease after toggled ODP ON/OFF.

UPDATE: ODP option was integrated into the Preference dialog in Opera 10.70 9053!

Hi dude09,
ODP means to watch something without plugins.For example can we watch below video with this?

Becouse this video is not open in Opera.

Or, I understood mistakenly. Pls explain me more for ODP.
And we can only use this with Linux?

Thanks.

@ z@h3k

ODP block all plug-ins content on web-page from loading, it load individual plug-ins when you click on the blocked element to load 'em manually, just like during Opera Turbo mode.

Can you provide excerpts from your keyboard and menu files so those of us who've not edited these files can see exactly what the added text looks like and where it is entered?

Sure, but it will took a bit of time though, because I'm currently updating the menu & keyboard setup to match 10.6 setup.

In op. 11.01 with Turbo on (X1) (and under Tools, Preferences, Advanced, Content, Enable plug-ins only on demand box unchecked and all other boxes checked) the flash content is effectively blocked until "Please click to download and activate plug-in." The individual content is then displayed. In the Turbo off mode the content is displayed without the mouse click(s). Is this what your hack / fix is supposed to solve (30MAR2011)?

Very cool. Thanks.

I prefer to use ODP, but it breaks some sites like SoundCloud and Last.fm. Now I don't have to open Preferences every time I go there.
