Using it now, having previously used it on another Chromium based browser.

Seems to be working OK, including playing nice with Opera's built in ad blocker.

@passenger-chi Don't use opera's built-in ad blocker. Like many ad blockers, certain companies pay Opera to whitelist their ads, as well as it slows down your browser a ton while collecting your data to then sell to more third parties. Don't use opera's built-in shitware ad blocker. the only reason to use opera is the extensions and (if it will even work for you anymore) The Flow. take advantage of the huge selection of extensions available to you.

OK. Seeing how it goes with AdBlock Plus default filters alone.

I'll report back whether it makes for quicker response and still not letting in bad stuff.

FWIW, Opera is not my default browser for business and I primarily use it for the VPN. So I'm less bothered about the potential privacy hit.

@passenger-chi: True, personally I find their "VPN" (actually a lazily made proxy) doesn't really do much at all, doesn't work almost at all anymore anyway for what I could swear it used to do, slows down my connection/app a ton, and ofc steals my data

It's definitely not a real-o true-lo VPN, but it's just enough privacy for me for recreational purposes.

If a government were after me, I'd use something else.

What no longer works? The ad block extension? Or the VPN?

@passenger-chi extension. YouTube changed how their ads work, so it's extremely hard to find extensions that consistently block every ad now, even if you only want to block video ads.

I removed "Adblocker for Youtube" and seem to be doing OK with Opera's native ad blocker + "Adblock Plus" (using the same config as I do on other browsers).

Seems to be OK, and no YouTube annoyances.

I don't care if this even works. It destroys dark theme, no matter if you try to re set it to dark theme it will always stay white.

1 star just for that.
