I've been using Opera GX for a while now and I've started getting a lot of ads even though the ad-blocker is on. Its mostly local ads and not international ads getting through.

I've seen about 10-15 ads and most of them are 30 seconds and cant be skipped which is very annoying.

I suggest a feature where you could manually block ads by for example right-clicking and selecting the block this ad (or what ever you want it to be called). Idk how ad-block works but i know that it's possible to do this since I've seen it in other ad-blocker extensions on Google Chrome for example

there is an ad at the top left corner of the youtube homepage in place of one of the recommended videos. the built-in adblocker does not block this ad, and I would like it to

The ad bloker is not working and I get ads in the middle of the videos. I have no exceptions on my exception list. In the config I have Opera ad blocker website fixes, Easylist and Nocoin marked. I activated the tracker after receiving an ad but it changed nothing.
Using Opera as the main browser without the Ad Blocker is not worth it. I really like the Opera and don't want to change the browser. Can someone please help me fix it?

@fehlberg Sites are always trying to bypass adblockers, sometimes they manage to get some success. Then the adblockers are updated and everything starts again.

This happens both with the saved tabs that are reopend after Opera Gx start up. I tried many times as an expirement. Press the X on the top right. Start up Opera Gx and the youtube video that was saved will display an advert. Other than that Many comic websites Like Mangakakalot and the like have certain amount of adverts popping up. The adverts do not fully show up as they are shown as gray blank squares butthe shape and the pop up of the advert still manifest interrupting the reading process.

Youtube has started to show ads despite the Opera GX adblocker being turned on. This has been working for quite a while now but just recently ads have unfortunately started to appear.

I have checked and I blocked ads and trackers, however I seem to be getting ads in the youtube app for some reason

It appears that you might need to do something on the Settings. Just simply go to the Preferences > Manage exceptions, then remove everything you see on the list of Exceptions. Just click on the three dots and then click remove, rinse and repeat for other websites as well. Once done, Restart the browser to take effect. We attached a screenshot to show you.

@jediminecraft1 As have been reported on the news recently, YouTube is starting to block all adblockers.

Hi! Need some help. I can't watch videos on YouTube. It says disable your ad blocker. Adviсe? Opera GX - best imho.

ad blocker has stopped working I have it enabled and when I went to go watch a show Ii would normally not have any pop ups or phish ads take me to random sites when pressing play, however the ad blocker just doesn't stop this traffic anymore and it's frustrating to have to close down three to four ads to watch a movie is there a reason for this?

As of yesterday I am seeing ads on YouTube. I guess Google finally defeated us.

@officiallazarhead yep just happened today for me. Came here to see if there are any alternatives other than paying for another subscription.

@buie9394 It really is a world war on ads going on. YouTube constantly fortifies the ads and all the browsers are evolving and adapting to match with their adblocks. Hopefully Opera will reign supreme at the end.
