        Hi everyone.
        Opera developers, please solve the issue with YouTube Adblock detection. We just can't play any video and therefore we use alternative browsers.

        Thanks

          Video viewing now impossible due to stuttering. Last month or so. Any channel at any time is the same.

          Now forced to Firefox, which works as it should with no stutters.

          Could not report the bug because form would insist on a file or other example and I don't have anything - so cannot talk to Opera. Grrrrrr. Is this goodbye?

            @chromian A temporary solution for this is to use the private mode until the specialists solve the issue. When you're in YouTube in normal mode, do a right click on the video you want to watch and then open it the private mode, on a new window of course. Adblocks work in private mode :).

              Having the same issue here. I tried watching youtube videos in incognito mode and it work. Eventually i found out that for some reason my Synchronization was turned on. I signed out of opera sync and it worked for me.

              EDIT:
              Issue reoccured. I just added youtube.com to the Opera's ad blocker exception list

                Thank you for your assistance. I've sorted the problem for now. I think my wifi extender had gone rogue.

                  @bowser13 It doesn't appear to be a problem with Opera. Word is that YouTube is on a campaign against ad blockers.

                    Youtube cannot open any video and the message appears that I must remove any ad blocker. However, when I remove it, I still can't watch any video, even though I refresh the page, it keeps saying that I still have a blocker and that's why I can't watch anything.

                      Any Youtube-video is blocked after the last Opera-update. I use
                      only the Opera-Adblocker. Is this the new Youtube-policy? I never had a problem since many years!
