        Didn't get any ads on those videos.

        Sometimes i see an ad in a Youtube video but it's very random and seems to happen rarely.

          It's not blocking video-ads. But it blocks "skip" button. So I have to listen to this ridiculously long "You need a website.. Why not use wix?"

            Have you tried removing Google from the whitelist?

                  Have you tried updating the blocklist with a custom one?

                    Same here, wonder why it's still not being fixed.

                          What is the format of a block list? Is it just an alphabetical list of domains?

                          I am seeing the Wix adverts in front of about half or more of the videos I watch, also Rx adverts and snack adverts. Also was stuck watching a five minute advert for a rap group's effects software. That was in front of every video for several days, so much so that I thought that the rappers were paying for the whole of bloody U2b.

                            Opera uses Easylist format.

                              I'm thinking maybe it's not an Opera bug, but a way some companies have invented to get around the adblocker. There's anti-adblocker software out there now, and I've seen it elsewhere.

                              While we're on that topic, how do I access settings in the built-in adblocker? I'm on
                              v.37

                                Unfortunately it seems it's not only youtube ads that have stopped being blocked. I have started getting new tab pop-ups as well. What's going on 😕 I REALLY don't want to install adblock again, it makes the browser so laggy. I tried for one day and it was getting on my nerves already...

                                  Seems unrelated. Check your computer for malware.

                                    I'm sorry, I must have not expressed myself in a clear manner. The pop-ups that open from time to time are expected to open. Some website always open one pop-up when you first click anywhere on the page, e.g., www.netvasco.com.br. I visit that website a lot and I know they have this ad that pops every first click. From this website Opera has been blocking the pop-ups well. However from other websites I noticed they are not being blocked anymore.

                                      Well, this topic is about YouTube ads so ads in any other page are unrelated stuff.

                                      Also, pop-ups has nothing to do with adblocker. Opera has a pop-up blocker too.

                                      Blocking pop-ups may not be that easy, specially those triggered by clicks.
