right-click on a page, not image. It enables blocking "mode" where you can easily kill multiple banners, etc. You can also add your own rules to block more sophisticated annoyances, like inteliTxt.
Sweet, thanks for the 411 pornel! Works like a charm! Now if digg would only make these mod up buttons bigger so I can make damn sure I mod you up next time instead of down. Either that or pray for a cure for old age!
Also if you find the icons too large- you can right click on any toolbar, select "customize" and then select "appearance." there you'll have an option to reduce the size of the icons. I like 70-80 percent myself.
They turned off the caching by default (well actually is set to automatic, but for example on digg pages, each time you hit back, it loads the page again), now forward/back history is not any better than in FF.Good that it's possible to set it back using opera:config but that interface is really obscure, they should put that option in the Preferences window.
The website (and commercials) looks kind of lame...So far the best page to promote Opera so that I know of is www.opera.com.Anyway, Opera 9 is slower than 8 (by default) in terms of browsing the page history... I don't understand why they changed the default behavior (in my opinion that is one of the biggest strengths of Opera)

On Mac OS X, Opera uses the system spell checker. There is no need to install additional software.You can install Aspell on other platforms <a class="user" href="http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/opera/spellcheck/">http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/opera/spellcheck/</a>

Just open a .torrent-file in Opera, and you're all set to go :)
