Earlier this year, Opera introduced built-in ad blocking for the developer version of its browser. Now, it's making the same feature available in its regular software for both desktop and mobile devices, The Verge said.

The company claims that native ad-blocking makes browsing the web even faster than using a third-party ad blocker or add-on, and that it reduces RAM consumption too. The native ad blocker is deactivated by default in the browser, but can be turned on by accessing the Settings or Preferences menu. The company has also released a new tool letting users compare the loading speed of specific sites with and without ads.
