Block Internet Ads

Filed under: add to del.icio.us

Do Ads annoy you ? Does the sight of Google Ads make you red?
If you’d like to remove them, you can use Opera to go about it.

What you need to do:

  • Open up the folder where you have installed Opera (usually C:\Program Files\Opera\ ).
  • Navigate to the Profile folder ( C:\Program Files\Opera\profile )
  • Make sure you have closed Opera before continuing
  • Open the urlfilter.ini file and paste the entire contents beginning from [exclude] to the end.
  • Save and Close the file.

NOTE:

  • Always keep a backup of the file before editing it.
  • The list given above only helps to blockout public ads (that is those provided by a network such as Google). To block ads hosted on a site, use the Block Content option (right click any empty area in the site and block out images/flash etc.)

Please note that this is a tutorial for Opera. There are other tutorials for Firefox and/or plugins which we are not concerned about here in this post. Please don’t start a Firefox vs. Opera war here.
