Disable Flash ads on deviantArt

If you're an Opera user there is a really easy way to disable Flash ads on deviantArt.com.  Note that this is not an ad-blocking technique.  You'll still be presented ads, but they won't be use Flash which seems to really how responsive Opera is as the ads load.

  1. Open your Opera preferences from Tools > Preferences…  or press Alt + P
  2. Go to the Avanced tab select Content from the list on the left then click the Manage Site Preferences… button.
  3. In the Server Manager dialog, press the Add… button
  4. In the Site Preferences dialog type adsvr.deviantart.com in the Site text field under the General tab.
  5. Under the Content tab remove the tick from beside Enable plug-ins.
  6. Click Ok then Close then Ok again finally in Preferences and you're done.

Rules: Paragraphs and linebreaks are automatically created (two or more linebreaks create a paragraph). Linebreaks between code tags remain linebreaks. Block tags cannot be enclosed by inline tags. Red attributes are required and green is optional.

Use "&lt;" and "&gt;" for "<" and ">". Enclosing PHP code in <code> tags will highlight the code (i.e. <code>&lt;?php echo 'hello world'; ?&gt;</code>).
