Opera browser blocking features appeared last month in beta browser versions. But today they are also available in the stable version for PC and Android users.
Η νέα ενημερωμένη σταθερή έκδοση του Opera έρχεται με δυνατότητες αποκλεισμού διαφημίσεων και μπορείτε να αποκτήσετε άμεσα για Windows, Linux και Mac OS X. Η application Opera Mini for Android also comes with a built-in ad blocker.
In addition to the built-in ad blocker, the browser offers a cleaner browsing experience, and appears to be faster, regardless of the platform.
Additionally, Opera reports that even with the ad blocker feature enabled, the browser is 89% faster than a standard browser without such a feature. Opera Mini is 40% faster, according to the company.
"Opera is the first company to offer a native ad blocker on all devices," says Lars Boilesen, CEO of Opera.
It should be noted that the feature is not enabled by default, and of course it makes sense, as there may be criticism from advertisers.
To enable the feature on a computer running Opera, all you have to do is launch the browser, open the settings screen. In tab Privacy and Security there is an Ad Blocking category. Enable the feature and enjoy an ad-free Web.
On Android devices, tap menu “O” in the browser, and look for the setting.
