With reference to Block Content:
Here's a site (marked in Green by WOT): http://money.rediff.com/ Now, I'm interested in viewing only the top half of the page. I don't want to see (or even download) the lower part. Much of this has the following link in common: http://qna.rediff.com/.... So I went to Block Content, clicked on Add, and pasted http://qna.rediff.com/* in there and hit enter. No joy. The stuff still loads. I even quit that page, emptied cache and went back but the stuff still loads ![]() Is what I'm trying possible within Opera??? |

![]() Adblock Plus recognised the content as a frame and somehow provided this link: http://qnacdn.rediff.com/qpod/Money which isn't visible when I hovered with the mouse to see what it was or even copied the link location. I don't know how and why but it works in Opera now. So I'm a happy puppy. |

As I've said before finding replacement for all your crucial addons (and realising which ones aren't crucial) is a perfect way of migrating from Firefox. I would advise you to try Opera Mail client + Gmail IMAP next if you use Gmail. |

Okay! So what's the difference between using the Blocked Content facility versus editing the urlfilter.ini???
The result seems to be the same. Just for fun, I exported my AdBlock list from FF3.6.3 to a text file and then to Opera's urlfilter.ini. It worked just as if I had blocked the sites by going the Blocked Content route but it was quicker since I installed Opera on another PC and couldn't quite figure out how to transfer the Blocked Content list from one PC to the other ![]() To my mind, the former is more click and go but I didn't find an option to export the contents. Whereas, the urlfilter.ini is a simple text file with all the advantages that implies (including putting stuff back into AdBlock Pus). |

More earth-shaking discoveries
![]() I found my net usage was still ticking even though the page was completely loaded. I remembered what Anupam had suggested for Firefox and found that Opera has a "Discover Local Opera Unite Users" enabled. I turned it off. Looked a little more and found that Opera had most kindly imported Firefox bookmarks including Recent Headlines. Deleted all unnecessary bookmarks. But I will still keep one eye on my net usage meter till I'm more confident that nothing is going on when I don't want it. |

There's no difference between the Blocked Content and the urlfilter.ini. All blocked content end up as rules there. Manually editing the file allows for highly fine-grained url tweaking. You should just trust Fanboy's list though. http://www.fanboy.co.nz/adblock/opera/ Discover local users is a local feature and searches for Opera Unite instances on your LAN. Communication within the LAN should not get added to your ISP bill. I don't think that that feature communicates with Opera servers or even can because UDP 1900 traffic is completely dropped by ISP routers. |

Abut the third one, I am quite sure your ISP can't add that to your bill as your ISP should not even know that this traffic in the LAN exists. Though usually many usage meters (the ones on your comp and not the one with your ISP) measure both LAN and Internet outgoing traffic. |
