Remove notifications for blocked popups in Opera


The build in Opera popup blocker notifies the user every time that it blocked a popup successfully resulting in a small notification overlay in the top right corner of the screen. While this might be useful under certain circumstances it becomes quickly annoying especially for web savvy users who know their way around the web.

It is possible to disable that small notification window when popups are blocked in Opera by going to Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Notifications and unchecking “Show notification for blocked pop-ups”. From then on the notification window will not be shown anymore.

I came only across a handful of sites that use popups to display site content. Most use them simply to display advertising which is really annoying.

    While I REALLY hate popups myself, I’m glad for Opera having an automatic blocker. Still, you might want to consider making Opera terminate them without you knowing it.

    Although Opera’s popup-blocker is great, it happens from time to time that a desired content on some websites is blocked such as popup containing flash animation, menu or video content. In such case, you might be unable to simply cancel blocking of it and thus losing the possibility to interact with that website with ease at that moment.

    If you’re sure what you’re doing, apply Martin’s suggestion on your Opera. Thx 4 the tip.

    Viva Opera !

  2. We would like to request if you can remove the popups blocked from our Opera System as we could not retrieve the complete details of the report.

    Thank you and hoping for your immediate and kind reply on the same.

    Best regards.
