Recently ive noticed that when i click on a youtube video before the video actually plays the normal ad screen appears but its just white and i have to click "skip ad" to get to it. Is there a work around or any reason why this is happening?

@nicobillion Same thing here. I suspected a malware infection. Very annoying, since previous there were no ads at all, which was great.

Same problem here. It seems like Youtube can detect or interfere with Opera's adblock. So, I recommend you guys to install another adblock instead of Opera's. I'm using Ublock and now these white screens don't show up anymore. But, it's true that sometimes I've had that annoying white screen even with Ublock. However, it's something occasional.

I just did something I read in another topic. Disable all Extensions, close the browser, start the browser and enable them again. This seems to fix it.

Is this a permanent fix or would you have to redo that regularly?

I disabled the default opera adblock extension and installed Ublock origin and I have not seen the issue since.

Make sure your flash player, Browser client, Video Drivers, Bios are up to date. Try clearing cache or reinstall the application. Try opening YouTube in another browser and see if the same problem is occurring again or not. Maybe an extension like Ad-block or firewall is the problem.

@naheed The problem is with Opera's ad blocker.

How to solve the problem.
First, you turn off Ad Blocker and Tracker Blocker, but just only to the website youtube.com
Finally, install a new extension like https://addons.opera.com/es/extensions/details/ublock/
Problem solved! Hope this help

@stevelee204 This is still a problem, but you don't need to install uBlock Origin. Just add Adguard's filters to Opera's adblocker: https://kb.adguard.com/en/general/adguard-ad-filters
I suspect it's the Annoyances filter. Problem solved.
