Finally, Opera will be no longer criticized for imcompatibility with Gmail.

Very good example of how Opera as a company cares about what their customers really need. (Y)

Actually, there IS adblock add-on for Opera.

Also, you can use Ad-Muncher which is superior to any other existing ad-blocker, which is unfortuanately not free.
