@vigasman Are you logged in when on YouTube? Did you try the required steps to try to solve issues?

A Former User @leocg

@leocg Yes, I am logged in on Youtube. What required steps?

@vigasman Both when accessing with normal and private windows?

@vigasman The ones at https://forums.opera.com/topic/23068/instructions-on-posting-about-problems-in-opera-for-computers that people should read before posting.

A Former User @leocg

@leocg Yes, both with normal and private windows. And I get this behavior as soon as I install Opera, right after a format, so I actually did try the steps =). On two different computers! At some point I thought it might have been the antivirus, AVG, but I haven't found any such options there.

@vigasman When something works in private window but not on regular one, it usually means that an extension or a setting may be causing it.

Any difference if you watch the video without being logged in?

A Former User @leocg

@leocg Nope. No difference. And now that I think of it, I get the same behavior from Vivaldi as well.. There's something going on with my system..

A Former User

Well that's has to be a first someone complaining about not seeing ads

Can I ask why it is that you wish to see ads on youtube

A Former User @Guest

lol..

A Former User @Guest

@athlonite I'd like to see ads on Youtube because this is the best way I can support the channels/creators I enjoy watching on my spare time. I also disable the ad-blocker on sites that I often use for the same reason.

Here's someone who can explain it better than me:
