More specific ad-blocking rules

Right now you can only operate on main domain addresses in ad block rules (some.site.com). But it would be nice to be able to add more specific rules (some.site.com/something) - in my case I wan to block ads on the main site, but disable adblocker on the admin page, because it breaks some things there. I could do it in uBlock, but native Opera adblocker doesn't support this.

I have also found myself wanting to define more specific rules for the built-in ad blocker. They recently added the ability to create rules using wildcards such as "[*.]live.com" and it would be great to see them continue adding these additional refining options.

Opera 40, currently in develoiper/alpha channel, has an option to add custom block lists.

@leocg: I don't want to create custom block list just for one site.

Why not? If such custom blocklist allows you to use Opera better, then it would be good thing.

I personally use both internal and external adblockers. To conserve resources, I have uncheckd 'Easylist' (this is used by Opera too) in AdBlock preferences; this way I can benefit both from speed of internal adblocker and flexibility of external one.
