I haven't used Opera for a while. Is the adblock built in, or do you have to download an extension? If it's an extension, which do you use?

Built in, I'm not at my desktop right now but I think it's just a tick box to turn it on.

Would it be better to click on the ad, don't they have to pay for clicks? I don't know, seems like that was a tactic used in political campaigns before.

Awesome, thanks! I'll have to give it a try again.

Some sites get money from clicking on advertisements. If that's the case here, then yes they'd pay for clicks and APC would get money. Certain types of websites use this tactic to gain money, and it's why I use Adblock Plus in Chrome, and Adblock Browser on my Android and iOS devices.

Hey! Yes, that's most likely retargeting, they are not a direct advertiser.

That being said, I can certainly blacklist them from the site. Can you elaborate, provide more reasoning for me to blacklist them from the Community? Thank you.
