    Maybe :doubt:
    ...or you just throw up a few bucks and buy Ad Muncher which is better than any addon I tried and works for everything :)

    I've been using it for a few weeks now on both portable & desktop versions of Opera. I think it is quite efficient. In preferences there are several lists to choose from (depending on language) & Fanboy's is the default. You can also block trackers if you wish. The preferences are quite customisable in many respects & not only can you pass the 'New York Times' Paywall' with it (whatever that is) apparently it will also block Facebook plug-ins.

    It is nice to see an Opera adblocker that works. I recommend it. :thumb:

    I also recommend NotScripts & External Scripts. :thumb:

    I am trying it out now and it seems to be working well. Just successfully updated the block lists so that is not a problem here. I was happily using the fanboy list with stat/tracking anyway and now I do not have to replace the ini and css files every month.
