The page that you are viewing will lighten out, and Opera will ask you to limited the gratify that you do not want to behold. Just click on the offending advertisement and then click the Done badge at the top of the web browser. Presto! The ad is spent and will be when you stopover the website.

How Do You Like Opera Now?

Blocking ads in Opera is easy. In fact, I think that Opera’s method to block advertisements is superior to the methods used by other browsers, as they mainly rely on add-ons to do the dirty work for them. Opera may be a niche browser, but it has some very cool features, and the way it handles blocking content is one of them.
