      The built-in ad blocker isn't blocking Youtube ads anymore. Anyone having the same problem? And if you know how to fix it, please tell me.
      Thanks!

          Since the latest two updates, I do not feel, Opera engine is able to block ads in YouTube. I guess some regression issue which the development team needs to look into the same.

            With the new update ads from youtube videos are no longer blocked and they pop up at the start of videos.
            I tried this on 2 different computers. Bring back that feature to block everything or I will move to the edge

                      Ad block doesn't work in YouTube
                      Is there pressure from Google?
                      Because ad blocking doesn't work. Tracker blocker doesn't work either.
                      This happened recently, it never happened before. It's disappointing.

                        Does Opera ad blocking block YouTube adverts ?

                        Never had any ads before my upgraded Laptop to OS W11, but now I seem to be bombarded by ads.

                        Any help appreciated.

                          @archaicwarrior888 YouTube and other pages are always trying to find a way to bypass adblockers. Sometimes they manage to be able to do that.

                            I don't know why, but on this special news site, when I turn ad-blocking on (and even disable acceptable ads) I get this result:
                            With ad-blocking.png

                            But when I disable adblocking and tracking protection completely, I see it like this:
                            Without Adblocking.png

                            In Firefox I get the same result as with adblocking disabled on Opera.

                            Here adblocking behaves exactly opposite to preferences. My guess would be: Spiegel partners with Opera (eg. on speed dial) and so is allowed to circumvent the adblocker.

                            Or may there be a another explanation for this?

                              It's working again as it should.

                                This has nothing to do with add-ons/extensions (I have none, unless you count Opera VPN). The simple fact is, Opera Browser used to have a functioning adblocker that blocked the ads on YouTube - and now it doesn't!

                                  all of a sudden I am getting ads on several sites. Gatewaypundit.com, theepochtimes.com. is there somewhere I should report this formally?
                                  that said, I love Opera.

                                    I just noticed large intrusive ads appearing when they did not used to. I even have "acceptable" ads turned off. I went to the same web site using the Brave browser and no ads appeared. I thought Opera was supposed to block ads. It used to work. did something recently change?

                                        I has the same issue on Opera One(version: 99.0.4780.0). on one website (marktplaats.nl) the option to turn on add blocking is even greyed out. Add blocking on YouTube is working now, but has been intermittently working lately.

                                          Does anyone know how ads sneak through on speedtest.net

                                          It used to be clean, but this season it has started to show ads.

                                          By the way, the search box in opera://settings/adBlockerExceptions does not work.

                                          Typing any text does not change result list.

                                          Opera 99.0.4788.77 on Win10. Ad block active, no exception for Speedtest site.
