Flashblock for opera

Another note in case I forget.
Since allowing flash by default slows browsing (and my PC) to a crawl, this nifty little script converts all flash content on a page to a flash icon.
Download it, stash it in your opera UserJS dir. (See Preferences -> Advanced -> Content -> Javascript Options -> User JavaScript Folder).
Youtube before:
Youtube after:
Simply click on it if you are sure you want to load it, and it’ll look like “Youtube Before” again ![]()
Did I mention this kill most flash ads?
P.S. The userjs dir can also be used to put GreaseMonkey scripts in. You might have to rename them because the script must end with .user.js for this to work.
