Hey all,
In our previous blog about Opera as the best browser for video streaming we left off by saying that there was more to come, and today we’re delivering. We’re introducing a major update to the native ad blocker in Opera One: a completely rebuilt engine that is, quite simply, the fastest Opera ad blocker to date.
We were the first to bake a native ad blocker directly into the browser, and today we’re able to say that we’ve been cooking! By overhauling the ad blocking engine and adding compatibility with uBlock lists and filters, we’ve created our fastest and most efficient ad blocker yet. For you, this ensures a better browsing experience in today’s increasingly chaotic web.
Crucially, we’ve built this on Manifest V3. This ensures continuity and compatibility of one of Opera’s core features. While we’re still supporting existing Manifest V2 extensions, remember that Opera will always help you block ads natively.
Most major browsers will require you to install a third-party extension for ad blocking. And while those extensions are excellent solutions, they require some technical knowledge to install and configure properly.
