The current version doesn’t yet come with as many features as the original, but provides most of the important functionality. If you are using Opera 10.50 or higher, I encourage you to use the linked script instead of the one in this post. (More features, more maintainance, and so forth).

Sample settings (based on real-life /a/)

4chan Filter for Opera, Version 1.3a

Installation instructions

Set up an userscript directory for Opera. This option can be accessed using Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Content -> JavaScript Options. After you’ve selected a directory, simply drop the .js file there and the script should load automatically.

Things to note

  • All values are interpreted as regular expressions, meaning that some special characters will not work as expected when entered. Those are, for example, .+^$?*[]{}(). Such characters should be escaped with backslash unless you actually know what you’re doing.
  • Since Opera doesn’t provide a way to store variables over a period of time, this script uses cookies to save settings. This means that a) if you disabled cookies nothing will work and b) if you set up Opera to delete new cookies on exit, all your settings will be gone the next time you start your browser.

Changelog

01/21/2009 – Version 1.0. Tested and working with Opera 9.6. Reports indicate it also works with Opera 10.

01/22/2009 – Version 1.1.

  • Added toggle to sticky or unsticky control panel
  • Fixed mouseover/mouseout for control panel
  • All strings are precompiled to RegExps
  • Added apply and reset buttons

02/01/2009 – Version 1.2. Improved support for fychan. Still some rough edges though. The post counter isn’t corrected after expanding a thread, and the `Reset page’ button destroys fychan. Nothing to be done about the latter since fychan always executes after this script.

02/02/2009 – Version 1.2a. Fixed new settings not taking effect unless the page was reloaded.

01/09/2010 – Version 1.3a. Updated some code which I don’t remember the significance of, and changed URL layout to conform to 4chan’s new URL scheme.
