The Adblocker is no longer working for YouTube since version 100.0.4815.47.
No ads are shown when using version 100.0.4815.30.

I wonder if Opera is purposefully trying to lose users here... now we get ads from YT? I updated to see if they managed to fix the tab loss and the rest of the list they got wrong with 100, instead I got YT ads... amazing.

In addition to adding a worse interface with tiny tabs that are difficult to click now if you try to use a magnet link opera crashes and you have to open it again.

the ad blocker keeps letting ads through on spotify
when an ad has got through there is no sound but once the ad is finished the ad stays there and when i select a new song it restarts the ad

It’s been three versions the ad blocker in Opera One is not working. The versions were 100.0.4815.47, 100.0.4815.54 and 100.0.4815.76. I turned on the ad blocker and block tracker also turned off the acceptable ad. After that the ads are showing in as shown in the attachment. It’s really irratating to watch with ads. Please fix the ad blocker. I am using the Opera One version 100.0.4815.30, because the ad blocker of this version is working. Also it’s my sixth time for complaining for ad blocker issue. But the problem was not fixed.

I've got the same bug here, and opened a bug report in their official issue tracker
But the issue was marked as "done" without any explanation:
https://opera.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/9/BS-63693
This sound a lot like ad companies paying Opera to not block some ads. It would explain why we can't change the search bar in Speed Dial to the engine we set as default
If this doesn't get solved by the time I get back from my holidays, I guess I'll have two options: using another browser or turning off the built-in ad blocker and installing AdGuard on Opera

I think YouTube/Google fights itself with adblocks so its not Opera fault. But Opera should fix it.

RickCarroll last edited byThis new version of Opera - 27-07-2023 No longer seems to block ads on Youtube. Any solutions? That to me was it's best feature. Thanks.

graywoulf last edited bySo now I have the all new and modernized Opera browser which I am not crazy about. I don't know if the updated look has anything to do with it but right after the update, the Ad Blocker is not working on YouTube anymore. Is this due to the update or did YouTube find a workaround for ad blockers?

i think it's a problem with the update. I tried other browsers with adblock and they work just fine. also found a post asking about the same thing from 2021 (adblock not working, youtube saying your offline) but no solution over there either.

@graywoulf Based on recent news, I guess it's the later.

By the way, it's no that difficult for sites to bypass adblockers if they want.

For me (on Opera developer) add blocking in YT started to work again, a couple of days ago.
