I don't even see the ads. Banner blindness works for me absolutely.

Put a sticker on the monitor covering the ad-area, or build some sort of mechanical device which covers the same area of the monitor whenever Opera starts. Just poll the list of processes now and then and send cover/uncover data via a serial port or something. This would require that Opera is always in maximized state.
Should work for you greedy whiny people, if you can build the device with little expenses

But Opera is that much better than FF, that's the whole point.

I am curious as to where on the Opera site it says that.

You need a certain number of clickthroughs to actually get the license.
