      I've tried the built in blocker and several extensions like Adblock but nothing stops onclick ads. Links that aren't visible so when you click anywhere on a page you get a popup. I guess the browser sees these as legit hyperlinks on websites or something. Nothing I install stops these is there anything anyone else has used with Opera that stops these onclick ads?

          @denverdonate Those kind of ads are very difficult to block, exactly because they are originated by a click.

            Install extensions on links.

            On sites with pop-up, open the setting in the picture. This setting prevents all links outside the site.

            The extension on the link directly blocks pop-ups. Allows opening non-harmful links outside the site.
