Is there a chance that the built-in adblocker will be enhanced?

I believe for mobile it should be enhanced since it fails to block pop-ups with explicit images and web redirects to malicious content, mostly 'cash prizes' or crypto stuff. Like that perhaps Opera might have an edge on the mobile market?

@darkusnoid Enhanced with what? Pop-ups are blocked by the pop-up blocker that should also block redirects.

@leocg Sorri if I wasn't clear. But on some news websites pop-ups arent blocked:

https://defimedia.infoGoogle trackers are not blocked when you use gmail etc, but external adblockers do.
You also have this website where redirects and questionable ads are also present:
On desktop I can bypass it with an external adblocker but on mobile well...

@darkusnoid Opera GX mobile doesn't seem to have a tracking blocker.

@darkusnoid On the last site, there are some banners with ads.
Don't know if they are easily recognizable as ads.

@darkusnoid Anyway, adblocker is not supposed to block pop-ups or redirects.

@darkusnoid Nope, but I didn't check that much and such things are kinda expected on sites like that.
