WWuuuuppppp..... da taucht er wieder auf, der Thread
Gerade eben im Operaforum gefunden, eine Wishlist, um die oben beschriebene Funktionalität richtig nutzen zu können. Nachdem ich vor ca. 1 Woche die Filterliste auf meinem Arbeitsplatz-PC wieder aktiviert habe, zeigten sich schnell einige nervige Verhaltensweisen dieser Lösung.
Diplo, ein User des Operaforums, hat es sehr schön in Worte gefasst,
nachzulesen hier, ich zitiere:

One of the potentially great and overlooked features of Opera is the fact that it can filter out URLs using a filter.ini file. This was broken in 7.11 but now works again in 7.20. For instance, if you create a filter files like the following all URL's that match the exclude list will be ignored by Opera :
(For more information on this see Mark Schrode's excellent page)
In other words, Opera has a built in method of blocking many adservers, tracking cookies and sites with questionable content (ie. porn sites). What a brilliant and useful feature, I hear you say! Well, it would be, if only they fixed these glaring problems :
Problem A: - The filter works fine for normal HTML, but if a URL (typically a banner ad) is generated using JavaScript then Opera freezes up, and won't load the rest of the page. This flaw makes URL filtering mostly useless, considering a lot of banner ads are dynamically written using JavaScript. Surely this could be fixed?
Problem B: - Unlike all other Opera.ini files, which have been moved to the user profile directory, the filter.ini file MUST go in the main Opera directory where you installed Opera. In other words, you can only have one global filter file, and not different ones for different users. This is a real shame, since parents who let their children use the browser cannot filter 'dodgy' URLs just for the user the child logs on as. Imagine what a good selling point being able to filter-out sites for your children would be?
Problem C: - The progress bar never goes away if a page contains any URLs that were filtered - you have to manually press escape to finish the page loading. This is a minor annoyance, but another small thing that could be easily fixed, I'm sure.
Now, I know people are going to say you can use Proxomitron or AdMuncher, but why do we need a 3rd party tool to do what Opera can almost do now? I don't really want yet another program running in the background all the time, I just want something simple that can filter out most URLs that only loads when the browser does. The functionality is almost there, it just needs a little more work, and would be a GREAT feature and selling-point that I'm sure would be another feather to Opera's cap. C'mon, do the job properly!

Als Fazit muss man momentan leider folgende Tatsache ziehen: Die URL-Filterliste als Lösung ist nicht praktikabel.
Ob Opera ASA noch Bugfixing betreibt, kann ich nicht sagen. Haavard (Opera Customer Service) schreibt dazu:
ear in mind that URL filtering is really a kiosk mode feature and not supposed to be very advanced or used extensively for ad blocking etc.
Hört sich für mich an, als sei kein Feintuning geplant
Wenn es anderslautende Neuigkeiten gibt, wird es natürlich hier stehen....
H-O,
