How to Remove an Ad Banner in Opera Web Browser
Opera has a flexible ad-blocking feature. It only takes a few clicks to get rid of an ad. It works on several kinds of ads in addition to banner ads, including Google ads and video ads. You can easily select which ads you want to block and which, if any, you want to keep. It's also easy to unblock an ad if you change your mind. The ad-blocking feature is built into the Opera browser, so you don't need to an add-on.

Tips & Warnings
Opera calls the ad blocker a "content blocker," so if you are searching the Opera help files for information, use that term. Advanced users can edit the ad filters for a page by clicking "Details" in the upper-left corner of a page that is in block mode. You can edit the filters for all pages at any time by selecting Tools --> Advanced --> Blocked Content from the top menu bar. To block ads from Vibrant (the video ads that pop up when you mouse over a double-underlined word), add http://*.*.intellitxt.com/* to the Blocked Content editing box.
