Pop-ups can be blocked via (Tools --> Quick Preferences --> Block unwanted pop-ups)

If you're referring to an Opera extension like AdBlock, Opera does have one that does work (small :camera: ), but even I will admit the FireFox AdBlock extension is superior.

Hmmm, the two I got are the exact same...Oh well, I'll just use the same one on all of my computers.

Thanks. Looks like they definitely need an ad/content blocker sooner than later...who really wants to learn how to use these...but I'll give it a shot.

I don't know why people are having to wait for a email for the code. Mine was on the next page after I clicked submit. Maybe they changed the process or something? Oh well, works fine.

yep, they originally required an email until they said screw it, just give 'em the damn code so we can get some work done around here.

Last minute bump, for those interested... NO NEED to email, just go to the link below, and put in ANY email addy!!

http://my.opera.com/community/party/reg.dml

INSTANT code!!

If you need more than one registration (you have multiple computers), hit the refresh button when you have the registration code page up and you will get an additional Registration code.

Repeat if necessary...

Been using it all day. I have IE, Firefox and Opera and switch between each. Now I'm hardly using anything but Opera. The screen just looks better. It's so much faster. The tabs are great. The Look can be switched between windows and opera skin style. The Opera skin style is fresh and different and it grows on you. I press F11 a lot to toggle full screen, and on and on. Again, thanks for letting us in on this.
