You can use Enable/Disable Plugins (All, including Flash) per site and have global setting for this (you can disable it for default, and enable on selected sites like youtube, or you can have it enabled globaly and disable per site)

Built in. However it's not JUST a ad-blocker, it's a content blocker, it will block anything from a domain, adverts, flash java or anything else..

Think Adblocker+ on steroids You can globally disable sites/content and site-by-site enable it, or vice-versa.

100% true. If i'm correct they were the first to do mouse gestures for web browsing, which is what made me switch over to opera in the first place. I havent left clicked a tab in years. Just swipe left or right. So speedy

It's a shame that Opera is still the underdog after all these years. Great lil browser and phenomenal ingenuity from that company. ]]>Jul 4th 2010 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/
I believe they were. They were first with most of the stuff you seen in browsers today.

Like tabbed browsing, integrated and custom search, a password manager, URL nicknames, session restore, tab previews, and other innovative features.

What would browsing be today without them..]]>Jul 4th 2010 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/*As I am currently listening to Weezer right now, I feel I should make an analogy*

Opera is the Pinkerton of web browsers.
Most underrated. Very great. Not many people give it a chance.

Chrome/Firebox is the Blue Album of web browsers.
Most enthusiasts like this album more.

Safari is the Green Album of web browsers.
Not great but also not bad. It's very tolerable with a couple of good things on it. It has its fans.

Internet Explorer is the Raditude of web browsers.
Disgusting.]]>Jul 4th 2010 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/
As a web designer/developer I use Opera as my main browser on Windows and Safari on the mac. With Safari being my favourite overall, I love using the latest web standards and Safari always wins on that one. I love Opera's tabs though, I often end up having about 30+ tabs open and Opera is the only browser where you can easily switch between so many with a single click.

I try out Firefox every time a new version comes along, but I just don't see why so many people like it? It's the same with Chrome.

I'm hoping IE9 might be the first version that isn't a complete waste of time (As I'm forced to use it for testing), but I think I might be asking too much.]]>Jul 4th 2010 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/Jul 4th 2010 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/
I've turned off the thumbnails. Also removed the search bar in speed dial. I am sticking to the extra one next to the address bar tho, in case someone else uses my computer, they might not understand the integrated search in the address bar.

But that's the power with Opera, change what you don't like in the GUI.]]>Jul 4th 2010 9:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/meh, what I want is speed. that's why I'll happily stick with Chrome.]]>Jul 5th 2010 5:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/Jul 5th 2010 6:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/
So you're saying that the main reason that Opera doesn't have a higher market share is because it has a search bar in its speed dial?

And I'd say that both firefox and chrome has more clutter by default.]]>Jul 5th 2010 7:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/04/opera-10-6-hits-windows-mac-and-linux-with-faster-javascript-w/
