      @logius95 Opera will do basic network blocking, so just domain and folder blocking level stuff.

      For 80% sites this is fine. However there is complex methods done by websites of inserting ads/adchecks using javascript, which is supported by uBO, Brave, ABP etc. Which allows list authors to tailor javascript snippet rules to counter these, including youtube.

              @logius95 Try downloading Fanboy Announces, and then unregister all youtube items in chrome://serviceworker-internals and chrome://net-internals/#dns -> Clear host cache

                    Adblocker is not working on YouTube.

                    I've been having this problem for a week or so now.

                              Official tweet related to the issue, it seems that devs are aware of the issue.

                                So a few months ago I found a solution for this problem....
                                If we can't use the already built in adblocker, then why don't we download another from the extensions tab??
                                I also have a problem for the extensions tab. When I revealed the link it said "US" at the end so I used a vpn to access the extensions tab and download an extension called "Install chrome extensions" Then I downloaded "ABP ad blocker"
                                And that's how I fixed the problem for me
                                Hope it worked for you.

                                    despite having the pop-up blocker turned on. Anyway, when I play an animeFLV video, an advertising window pops up.

                                      Just today started having an issue where now the regular built in adblocker is leaking ads on Spotify which hadn't been happening.

                                        @desco1204 Me too, this problem also exist for youtube and youtube music. But for me there is since the third-last update.

                                          @fuzzbuzzer I can't stand ads - and I refuse to pay for their removal. Opera offered a free ad remover which is why I changed browsers from Google Chrome to Opera - but despite my numerous direct complaints by email to Opera - I am still seeing youTube ads. This is intolerable.

                                            It's fine to say that Opera offers blocking of ads and other unwanted popups, but despite that I still manage to get ads whether on YTB or on other sites and it gets really boring.
