Blocking by built-in browser tools

First, let's look at the method of blocking pop-up windows using the built-in tools of the Opera browser, since this is the simplest option possible.

The fact is that pop-up blocking in Opera is enabled by default. This is the first browser to implement this technology without using third-party tools. To view the status of this function, disable it, or enable it if it was disabled previously, you need to go to your browser settings. Open the main menu of Opera and go to its corresponding item.

Once in the Browser Settings Manager, go to the “Sites” section. This can be done using the settings navigation menu located on the left side of the window.

In the section that opens, look for the “Pop-up windows” settings block. As you can see, the switch is set to window blocking mode by default. To allow pop-ups, you should switch it to the “Show pop-ups” mode.

In addition, you can create a list of exceptions from sites where the switch position will not apply. To do this, click on the “Manage Exceptions” button.

A window opens in front of us. Here you can add website addresses or their templates, and using the “Behavior” column, you can allow or block the display of pop-up windows on them, regardless of whether their display is allowed or not allowed in the global settings, which we talked about just above.

In addition, a similar action can be done with video pop-ups. To do this, click on the “Manage exceptions” button in the corresponding settings block, which is located just below the “Pop-up windows” block.

All installed add-ons will be displayed. If they are active, click “Disable”. Then the “Remove extension” button will appear, clicking on which will remove it from the browser.

Using uBlock

You can block ads in Opera using the uBlock extension program.

To get the extension working you need:

2. Go to web page.
3. Right-click on an empty space on the site and click “Block element”.
4. Next, select the element to clean.
5. At the bottom of the Opera browser is the “Create” button.

The extension provides a web page preview function. This function shows the page in the form in which it would appear to the user without ads. This type of ad blocking is cumbersome, because after reloading the web page, the advertising appears again and the user will have to repeat the same ad blocking procedure in the Opera browser. Changes made by the user are applied to the site. To do this, click on the extension button in the upper right corner of the browser.

What's next

It needs to be cleaned 2-3 times a week (if you actively use the browser). How to do it? Click “Menu” - “Settings” - “Security” - “Clear history”.
