Now we have good news, Opera has brought the ability to block ads without using a third party plug-in to not just its desktop browsers but also its mobile browsers as well for everyone. The feature of native ad-blocking has been enabled in Opera 37 and Opera Mini on mobile platforms such as Android. Opera claims that with its inbuilt ad-blocking feature some websites load up to 90% faster.
As you already know the native ad-blocking feature of Opera works on the web engine level where the browsers checks the block list with the help of native code and fast algorithms as soon as the network request for the URL is made. They claim that their ad-blocking system on average loads pages 62% faster than without ad blocker. Opera also helps you know how fast a webpage loads with and without ads. The ad-blocking gadget shows you the loading speed of the current webpage with and without the ad blocker enabled. This especially helps advertisers know how they can make their ads more efficient to load so that people do not want to always block them.

The native ad-blocking feature on Opera is deactivated by default and can be enabled by the user by visiting the settings menu. You can activate or deactivate ad blocking for specific websites by flipping the ‘shield’ switch near the address bar. Just like the famous ad-blocker Ad Block Plus you can add websites to your exception list, see how many ads have been blocked however you cannot set custom blacklist parameters yet.
Apart from native ad-blocking, a new feature of video pop out has been enabled on the desktop version of Opera.

You can download desktop browsers for PCs and Mac from the source link below and you are requested to visit Google Play Store to get your hands on Opera Mini for Android.
