Does this also work for layers? Can I specify id=''s, that I dislike?
Can I specify class=""'s, that I don't want to see? Can I specify
parts of URIs that are not allowed to be shown (e.g. if there's "espotting"
*somewhere* in URI, the content is to be blocked)? Can I make it so,
that those bans are only for a certain domain? E.g.

heise.de#*(class*=banner)

This would block all the "class=banner" elements on heise.de, but not
on other domains.

Does all of this work?

Can those fixed containers be removed as well?

I don't know what you mean with that.

The interface to Adblock+ and the features it offers, are close to perfect.
Anything less is not what I want. I basically want an Adblock+ for Opera.
If there's no such thing, than I tend to say, that Opera is lacking an
extremely important feature.
