The only catch is that you need to block "doubleclick" URLs or
ad.doubleclick.net server. I have it done in AtGuard! that replaces such
URLs with transparent 1x1 GIFs.

The problem is that Opera doesn't seem to load the page completely, while
any file downloader (such as NetTransport) downloads the page from
to . Opera always stops at
