BlockIt compilation of userjs for opera. Specify your userjs folder to begin.
This is a Unite Application with a difference! If anyone is familiar with NoScript, an extension for Firefox, then BlockIt will be right up their alley!
What is BlockIt? It was mainly a User JavaScript specifically designed to selectively block or unblock specific JavaScript's on pages. Using cookies for storage it was a basic but helpful way to block what was wanted,but the problem was that:
It was only accurate if the page's code didn't change so often
Storage was limited and it didn't work across multiple websites
Along then came more features before it was officially named "BlockIt",like allowing more resources on the page to be blocked/unblocked apart from scripts on the page, and measures to automatically allow scripts based on the website itself to run. Then Opera Unite came along and I eventually figured out a way, to edit the User JavaScript, directly! That way I wouldn't need to use cookies anymore or other methods to store settings.
What does it do?
It can selectively block almost any resource on the page! Almost any plugin, html iframe,script or image on the page(off by default) by their hostname or url, theres a guide in the application which gives you a run-down of everything you need to know to run it. Basics are:
Click '#X#' button to block items, '#[]#' to unblock items.
Click 'All' to block/unblock all items.
Click 'Host' to block/unblock by the resource's hostname.
Enjoy
Changelog:
1.1 -Added "videoblock" setting to Config page. -Updated for it to work with Opera 10.5
Looks like this same method could create an auto-updating urlfilter.ini (preserving stuff added manually, of course) for Opera, heralding its own "AdBlock+". I'd be excited to see that too.
EDIT: I'm a bit confused...seems like when I block something (causing the "#X#" to appear to the left of the script in the list), I get an alert telling me "noscript entry has been removed", which implies I just took that script OFF the blocklist...either stuff's worded backwards, or that needs to be clarified.
