Opera announced a significant improvement to its built-in Ad Blocker on Android, introducing three distinct modes to offer greater privacy and control to users. The revamped ad blocker aims to provide a faster browsing experience with fewer intrusive ads and enhanced security. The new modes include 'Balanced Mode' for standard ad blocking, 'Enhanced Mode' which integrates uBlock Origin and AdGuard for robust protection, and 'Custom Mode' allowing users to select from six curated block lists. These options cater to varying user preferences and browsing habits. The update, part of Opera for Android version 86, also features an updated download manager that allows users to rename files, set limits on concurrent downloads, and approve or decline downloads. Additionally, six new app icons, including five inspired by Opera One's design, are available for personalization.
