      Right now, in the native adblocker Opera provides, we can only add custom filter lists in EasyList format, i.e. started with [Adblock Plus 2.0] and having a specific structure used.
      This means we can not add Adguard's awesome filters, such as Annoyances and Spyware one, which are very different to the EasyList's alternatives. The only workaround would be to download them as a .txt, rewrite the whole structure, and add as a offline file (thus not automatically updated), which is a headache.
      This is forcing me to use uBlock Origin, and waste both resources and webtime page load time.
      Implementing this feature would greatly improve Opera's native adblocker, and the browser in general imo.
      Please consider. Many thanks

        "ANY" format is not feasible. there can only be a finite list of known formats supported. If you want to request Adguard format, that's fine, but the developers can't possibly support "any format".

          @sgunhouse you're right, I was not very clear. When I said any format, I was talking about the most popular ones, or the ones uBlock Origin supports.
          Anyway, supporting Adguard lists would already be awesome and a huge improvement for the built-in adblocker.
          Can you send the request to the devs?

            3 days later and haven't got a response.
            May I request Adguard list support? I would like to receive an answer from the devs.

              You weren't really expecting any replies, right?

              You've posted your suggestion/request and if someone is also interested, s/he will reply.

                  @leocg I was, but I guess that doesn't work like that here.

                    Hey everyone. I think you should also make Adguard Lists compatible with the built-in adblock. Especially in Turkey where they have a list called Adguard Turkish List which is way more updated and modern than the Fanboy one (not updated more than a year). It would be great if I could just subscribe to that...

                              @grgnd thank you for the support. Adguard filter support would indeed not only improve the built-in adblocker, but also make more people migrate from adblocking extensions. A win-win for Opera and the users imo.
