The Opera has been updated, but the problem with blocking ads on YouTube is still not fixed, how long can we wait? We have been waiting all summer and autumn month, why can't you fix it and return it as before?

It looks like Google outsmarted AdBlock, so a solution I found is only patience. At the start of any video, you will see " An error ocurred" screen. You need to wait for 5 seconds, and the video will resume immediately. So, try this until Opera has a soluti

No, I just don't understand that they can't fix it for so long, although there was no problem before

@LIMBOH Yes, it needs to be fixed, and I have seen numerous posts about this problem on various forums. Let see when they are going to fix it.

Can you tell us how long to wait for the ad blocker fix, which we can't wait for more than 4 months, so there are also two ads per video?

For more than 4 months now, we have been waiting for the ad blocker to be redone. But now it has gotten an even worse turnover: now there are two ads on YouTube.com with a white screen and a "Skip ads" button, and in some sites you go in like you see no ads (for example, Mail.ru) and as soon as you go to another mail or a profile of how the ad appears. I am asking you to fix Opera ad blocker because it does not work correctly.

Everytime I get an ad at the start of a video, it doesn't hide it, it just gives me a white screen.
Is there any fix to this?

Hello Opera GX forum!

While I have the adblocker feature on and click on a YouTube video it will show me a white screen with the skip button where the ad was supposed to be. Is it possible that I can make it skip this instead of having to manually skip it everytime?.

Here's an example

So two days ago I wanted to play some video on youtube, but this time I had AD at the start of the video, I checked, and my AdBlocker was on, so I tried next and next video, all of them had one or two ads. So ads are now at all videos. 95% of the time its always the 3 same ads. I dunno if it is only problem with my opera or simply opera started giving their own ads they get paid for. Do you know why is it happening and what can I do with it?
Thank you

Disable Opera's adblocker and install uBlock Origin.

Go to opera://settings/adBlockerLists and update the lists for Opera's built-in adblocker.
If that doesn't solve it, you can download and use uBlock Origin

Also, don't use multiple adblockers at once as it might cause problems/slow down your browser.

The only way I found to fix this is by installing Tempermonkey extension and then Auto Close Youtube Ads from Greasy Fork: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/9165-auto-close-youtube-ads

It makes the white splash be displayed but just for some minimum instants before it automatically disappears.

YouTube suddenly popped up an actual ad (and not the suppressed ones, a full on semi-nsfw one). Problem is i dont know why? I wasn't even messing with the settings. It was as it was. I even installed and move to from Opera to OperaGX, so i entered YouTube. Of course since it was a new browser i wasnt logged in, so i click on one and it worked while i wasnt logged in, so i go happy and log in from here. Google confirmation stuff and finally log in. Entered YouTube and Now it shows full on ads again. I just logged off and watched 10 vids on a roll,no ad problem so i dont understand what is happening

Opera(and OperaGX) addblock fails on YouTube when the account is signed in. And it doesnt when its not signed in. What is happening? Is that only happening to me?
