Description
Maybe I will use Opera a little more now that I have found a way to remove ads on webpages.Related content

I never block ads, if you want a site to stay open like DA even viewing the ad helps them keep running.

Bah! I hate ads! I thoroughly block ads across all of my browsers.
Keeping a website running is fine but a lot of ads contain malicious code. Besides ads work by you clicking on them not just viewing them. As for DA I have been a subscriber for 2 years I just earlier this month let it run out because of lack of money. If I like a site I will donate to it and block their infectious ads.
Please don't take this as an angry reply because it's not meant to be, sorry

I understand but as a website owner I don't just get $ from clicks but per 1000 ad views to. But I see why you would want to block some.

I own a website also and have tried ads on it and found them to be too obtrusive for my liking (and my users), so I stopped using them. BTW what is the URL of your website?

It is a large social networking site and it has the title of the largest flat file social network. [link]

I would guess /home/[username]/.opera (keep in mind that . files and folders are hidden so you have to go to the edit menu and edit prefs in Nautilus)Replace [username] with your username.
If you have any problems i will write a script to do it for you.

well you can unhide by Ctrl-H so no problems there but does not work once i get it installed

Ok I have tested it all you have to do is unzip the file and put it in your /home/[username]/.opera/ folder and if opera is running restart it and it should work...
