Aside from the "AdAway workaround" - I am really confused that nobody dislikes all the advertisements in Opera now.
The last version used to be ad-free, plain, content-focused - and now this? Speed Dial / News has ads every where, reading mode has an ads on the bottom - this should not happen when the ad blocker is enabled.
I would even pay for an ad-free version - how about that, Opera? 😉
