Webpage ads blocking in Opera 8


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm using Opera 8 as my primary browser. I want to get rid of all the ads on the webpages (ads, not popups).

I was previously using Ad Muncher for that purpose but Ad Muncher doesnt play good with the firewall part of F-Secure Client Security 6 .. it totally locked me outta the net.. (Ad Muncher displayed a dialog informing me that its switching to another method of filtering and then I couldnt surf at all) so I dropped Ad Muncher in favor of F-Secure's Firewall.

Is there a way the webpage ads blockage can be done in Opera?

Apparently you never contacted them or bothered reading the help file. :D

Took me all of 3 minutes to find the solution. ;)

All you need to do is,

Go to the "Routing" tab of Ad Muncher,

Disable this option,

"Avoid binding to the loopback interface when routing connections through Ad Muncher"

And enable this option,

"Disable automatic activation of this option when connection troubles are detected"

Click the Apply button and your problem will go away. :rofl:
