| 561789 | 2007-06-24 05:06:00 | Opera would be better than firefox if it had 0 effort ad blocking like the adblock extension brings to firefox I've never used the adblock extension in Firefox but saying that it requires 0 effort is a slight exageration isn't it? After all, you have to browse to the extensions' webpage, search for it and then download and install it . On the other hand you could expend the same effort in adding an ad-blocking Hosts file to Windows, or you could use Proxomitron, both which will affect all browsers, not just Opera . Or you could add a list of sites you wish to block to Opera's urlfilter . ini file . Pre-made urlfilter . ini files are available on the internet and require just a few clicks to setup . Using the lack of an adblock extension as an excuse for not using Opera is pretty lame to me . |

| 561790 | 2007-06-24 05:09:00 | I have been doing a lot of programming in js and php recently, and firefox is absolutly awesome with some amazing development tools . Have you seen the Web Developer Toolbar & Menu ( . info/WebDevToolbar" target="_blank">operawiki . info) for Opera? A certain hard-core web programmer forum member now uses Opera full time due to this toolbar and menu . :cool: |

| 561791 | 2007-06-24 05:16:00 | Fantastic!!! I had looked around at the widgets for opera ooking for something like that. But that goes a long way to meeting firefox for the more intensive webdesign. |

Right click the offending ad and select "block content" and it stays blocked. My PC world page loads faster and looks cleaner than it ever has. you can also go to "tools > advanced > blocked content..." and add them in manually |

| 561795 | 2007-06-25 03:42:00 | I like the block image as well, but remember historically that firefox blocked the images from downloading, while opera just stopped them from appearing on the page . Therefore firefox was faster while opera still downloaded the images . Hopefully that has changed now . . . |
