      Cannot activate the Ad Blocker in Opera latest version, The menu is available in Extensions Settings but will not activate and I am having to use Ublock Origin to stop Ad's. Why is the built in Ad Blocker disabled?

        @hirwaunman It's disabled by default as usual, you can enable it in settings page.

          @leocg No! I already tried that, there is nothing in settings that I can find that relates to the Ad Blocker, and the entry in Extensions to enable the Ad Blocker does not work?

            @hirwaunman It should be the first thing in the settings page.

              @leocg No! Wallpapers is the first thing, and there is no sign of the Ad Blocker anywhere in any of the menu tabs?

                @hirwaunman Just checked for updates and there was one, so updated the Browser and the Ad Blocker was back! So all is now well again, but why was there no Ad Blocker available in version 74.-? Now on version 75.-

                  @hirwaunman Probably something was wrong with your installation and the update fixed it.

                    @leocg You could be right! This install of Opera is a first install on a new build machine.
                    Thank you for your help, it's always a help to consult about a problem with someone!
