Pink Floyd Veteran Posted December 22, 2004 Veteran Share Posted December 22, 2004 Collapse ads, like Firefox's Adblock extension. It can supposidly already be done with some CSS, but i havent managed to get that to work. 585149369[/snapback] I've never been able to that by CSS. Plus, you need to enable user style sheet instead of author style sheet and by doind that, you disable all website layout which is BAD :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/260852-opera-8-beta-1-is-out/page/2/#findComment-585149380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marduk Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 So are there any awe inducing features in this release? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/260852-opera-8-beta-1-is-out/page/2/#findComment-585149383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sushubh Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 i don't think opera would ship an adblocker out of the box. their free version uses an ad. it's something that would be contradicting. :) i have seen some css extensions that hides most popular ad formats. though i am happy surfing with images in cached mode and plugins disabled. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/260852-opera-8-beta-1-is-out/page/2/#findComment-585149387 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chode Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I just wish that style sheet would work in conjunction with the URL filtering method :( (aka, close any holes left in a page from a url that times out instantly) I worked out the download bugs, by digging Opera out of the registry. Maybe installing beta versions in new folders without ever uninstalling old versions wasn't good :s Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/260852-opera-8-beta-1-is-out/page/2/#findComment-585156502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey992 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I really wish I had tried Opera before I got addicted to using Firefox (Phoenix, actually). Now I just can't tear myself away from the fox. Opera is a killer browser though.

ev0| Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I'm a Firefox to Opera convert (gotta change my sig now) Not that many of those around here. Opera 8 beta 1 is better. Couple of bugs, biggest one is problem resizing the windows with some pages with images from the bottom right grabby thing.
