Custom Buttons to Drag'n'Drop into your Opera
Opera allows you to easily drag-n-drop custom buttons from a web page straight onto your toolbars!
Buttons can be simple browser functions or options easy to use or advanced features or even additional external functionality for automated actions.
Buttons like "Tag this on del.icio.us" or "Post to
Digit" or "Blog this" can be very easily made..
How to add a button - Simply drag a link (Button) to your toolbar and try it out (hint:drag upwards). A requestor will pop up asking whether to install the button (displaying the command the button performs to confirm 'what-it-says-is-what-it-does').
How to remove a button - If you don't like a button, you can simply right-click on it and "remove from toolbar".
Where to place buttons - The Personal bar and Menu bar do not allow buttons to be added to them, but Status bar, Main bar, Navigation bar, Address bar, the ends of the Page bar, most Panel toolbars and the Mail View bars are all fine.
Where to get these buttons -

Kill Elements Button
KILL Elements -
REMOVE ADS, IMAGES, FLASH, FRAMES, BLOCKS, TABLES, ETC.
The
kill button is utterly invaluable. It basically can kill elements on a page. The selected element will be highlighted with a
pink square, if so this means
left-clicking it will
remove that element from a page. Press
escape or Click kill button again to exit the kill mode.
This button is useful for things like:
» Removing those
annoying DHTML images that float around a page.
» Any element that distorts the page, such as overflowing ad-blocks or long entries in tables.
» Removing elements you don't want shown on a printed page.
» You may even remove flash or iframes; you have to select a parent that is holding it, hover the mouse close to the edge of the flash animation and see if you can see its parent highlighted.
Feeling a sense of omnipotence (a-la Pacman)...
BUTTONS : Kill Using the Mark as Spam icon / Kill Using the Smiley Pacman icon.
Note: You must drag the button up from the page to the toolbar, not click it and add it or it won't work. You will see icon if done right.
