i think we should give them a bit more time to get things settled. also a few weeks after the final version 11 release there might be more well known plugins

all i need is to get rid off unwanted ads. u cannot filter those with hosts file.

search google Fanboy urlfilter.ini

Sure, time to make something that works and is useful at the same time.

urlfilter does not filter ads what i want, easily

and yeah, it's too early to blame.. they've just released alpha to public...

there are two extensions that were recently updated and may possibly match your requirements:
https://addons.labs.opera.com/addons...s/noads/1.0.4/
https://addons.labs.opera.com/addons....1/?display=en

personally I don't want extensions, opera is just fine and has all the functions it needs, we're going to see much more spammy crap than actually useful extensions

Firefox has many "spammy crap" addons, also. You always have the option of not using them, anyway.

As for me, I don't block stuff via the hosts file - Fanboy's anti-tracking list plus a few custom additions does the trick for me. And you can check it yourself, stuff on the Opera blocked content list won't even load.

I don't really care about the ads, ban the most popular servers and most of them are gone, mostly, I hate the cookies said ad servers install on your computer, thus, the hosts file is the easiest option

Okay. Opera 11 goes final!!!!

ps. I think it was too soon...

[anon]

Thank you, I'll update later today. A shame it's still missing GPU acceleration, I'd really like that.

[simexi]

maybe 11.x has hw support...

opera 11, AMAZING.
finally an update you can FEEL! love the recent changes.
and finally, extensions! too bad some things aren't fixed yet (guess next page with mouse 5)

[anon]

Man, disregard everything I may have said about extensions in Opera. I just installed a few and they're awesome! These are my picks:
Download Helper
FastestTube - I find built-in downloading functionality better
NotScripts - much better than the BlockIt user script
Popup Statusbar - a good screen space saver for my netbook
Redirect Bypasser - to avoid the SB-I dereferer (given I have disabled HTTP referers entirely) and do things faster
Turn Off The Lights

i love the image preview popup and close duplicates extension , along with fastesttube . it was about time opera introduced the extension feature .

[dreamer]

I couldn't decide whether to install Download Helper or not. I don't usually use the hosters it supports and it's known that too many extensions end up slowing down your browser so I didn't, for now.
I do have:
Focus on Textbox
Turn Off The Lights
FastestTube

edit: anon what's the use of NotScript? ad blocking? why not using Opera's built-in one?

[simexi]

There's NoAds(currently in use) extension too, similiar with NotScript. I'm using this one also: Opera URLFilter Downloader - NoAds handles filtering too but not really sure that it loads all lines from selected subscription.
