The go into Opera and type "opera:config" and hit enter.
Search for "filter" and you'll see a path to urlfilter.ini. Tab the field, and select the file, in the place where you saved it on you N900.

...or just install AdVoid, which does something similar using your "hosts" file... and works with *all* your browsers, without changing anything in them :-)

Yes, definitely "just", as it is mentioned near the end of the Advoid thread that the Maemo4 .deb also works in Maemo5 even if the package was never pushed to the Fremantle repos. So it's just a matter of downloading it to the N900 from Garage and installing it.
It took me a bit to figure this out as well. Long press until you get the menu to edit/clear. Then lift your stylus/finger off the screen. The menu will stay and you can then choose the action you are looking to accomplish.
I was trying to slide my finger to the menu like I do in MicroB and it kept opening the bookmark as well.
Is the Opera browser built using Qt? Im so enjoying the smoothness and kinetic scrolling.. seriously it makes the phone's smoothness comparable to iphone
