          Absolutely love Opera and it's adblocking feature. Just reporting that 1-2 days ago Youtube adblock stopped working for me. (Bet YT has come up with new way of rolling ads to bypass the adblockers 🙂 ).

            @takemetonarnia4 - Same but i noticed that No ad Blockers are able to block pre-rolls Youtube has changed the way they place ads in the Pre-Roll, and now they are "unblock able" no matter the app i only end up making the skip button disappear and the ads play no matter what

              2021-05-13 Still having trouble with the adblocker for youtube and other sites. Tried downloading a adblocker aswell for youtube but not working, opera is interfering with it. And can't find any solution to this problem but i will keep looking for it and if i find it i will try to help you guys out with this problem if you are having it.

                @kerlyk It happened 1-2 days ago. The icon on top right shows how many ads it blocks during a video but the ad still plays on the video.

                  Also there is no way to contact opera for some reason. They neglect their users.

                    this problem has gotten worse i've delt with the white screen for a minute now but the ads just came back completely today its ruining my experience on Opera because the only reason I got GX was its internal adblocker and it isnt working this is kinda Kekw like fix your browser Opera.

                        @chatnoir IDK if it is International it seems that Opera betrayed us. 😕
                        I downloaded Opera cause the ad blocker but now I have to watch ads.

                          Same for me, what makes me wonder (wich is not importand) but that I always get the same two adds every time, that won't get blocked.

                            Hahaha, it's getting worse and Worse ! This is hilarious. Opera devs, you should be ashamed.

                              @osckarmil it seems to be world wide, I'm from Bolivia - South America and yesterday morning at 10 am more or less (GMT-4) pre-rolls ads started playing on my Opera, I thought I got the ad blocker disabled by mistake, but no, it was on, hopefully Opera people will patch this since I loved Opera because of this feature.

                                    I am here to report the same problem.
                                    After update of Win10, Opera Adblocker don't block YouTube Ads.

                                          @zomtronic Same thing here. I did have a white screen for some time, but now the ads just start and they are not possible to skip.

                                          I deactivated the built in ad blocker and installed adblock+ for now. Shouldn't be necessary in Opera though...
