Minor annoyance

Post by Eds »

Just wondering if this can be fixed: When you disable adblock for a page the icon disappears from the Opera bar. You then have to go into extensions to re-enable it.

It would be great if it didn't disappear or if there was a pause feature that could easily be enabled/disabled.

Thanks!

That doesn't disable Adblock Plus for the current page; it disables the extension altogether. Disabled extensions cannot have any effect on the browser, so the icon disappears from the toolbar.
As far as I can tell, the only workaround is to
  1. Right-click the icon and choose Preferences.
  2. Click the Whitelisted Domains tab.
  3. Type the domain (e.g. example.com) into the box and press the Add Domain button.
  4. You may need to refresh the page for the change to take effect.

Yes, that's how it works in Firefox. The developers are aware of this limitation in the Opera version.
