It might perhaps has occured to you that the config might be somewhere in an ini or xml file rather than in a complete separate folder.

And sometimes browser developer use an existing engine and the config might perhaps be hidden in a folder called “Mozilla” rather than Opera

In fact I can see the file in his screenshot. 10 seconds with Google brought up the answer!

operaprefs.ini is an initialization file for Opera, essentially a settings file that specifies most of the user preferences. When you alter your preferences within the Opera user interface, this file is automatically modified and saved.

Well, I google’d, “Opera Config,” but whatever… That’s definitely the file that needed a delete…

Cheers… All done, thank you everybody

I was a firefox guy for last 6 or 7 years… I was quite confident I will stay with this browser “forever” since it’s well written and open source etc. But I got really frustrated with it’s performance regarding flash and youtube so I tried chrome. I don’t like their corporate style, pretending to be a friend of mine or whatever (“I see you like special characters in email address! We do not allow double dot in logins…” etc) and incorporated “chrome store” I like it cause it is really robust. Also the adblock for chrome is waaaay better than firefox version, I can easily block not only comments on yt but also suggested/promoted videos (hate that crap), suggested profiles on facebook (why on earth would I be interested in some store I’ve never been in or other crap) etc. So, all in all, I suggest you give chrome another try as it is solid.

Does it block video adverts from 4OD and Youtube (at least I’ve been told by others Youtube now has ads…)??

[Foo (mr_mark_dollin)]

Adblock and Ghostery on Chrome does me fine for now.

Yes, it does.

[kazakore]

@carmazine

Yes, it does.

Cool, thought so (pretty sure I installed AdBlock Plus on a mate’s computer who uses Chrome and that’s when I learn about Youtube ads.) It does for FF as well, which I still happily use.

[carmazine]

Yes, FF’s adblock blocks video adds too. The difference is, in FF you have to add a filter manualy, while in Chrome there is a pop-up with slider which allows you to adjust which object you want to filter out, a WYSIWYG kind of thing. It’s cool

[kazakore]

I’ve found with the filterset and ticking Block Unintrusive Ads (or whatever it is termed, recent addition I thought to all versions) has blocked everything I’ve wanted to, including all the video ads. There is also an Element Hiding Helper, which I don’t use, but think might be similar to what you’re talking about.
