      Just updated Opera to latest version. Now Youtube on Opera is not starting. You have sound only and complete browser blocks. Result the same after pause Adguard extension.

      Note: Solution AI. Switch Grafic acceleration off in settings. And indeed: Youtube is working again, but I think this is not a definite solution

        That actually points pretty strongly toward a hardware acceleration/GPU issue rather than AdGuard. The fact that turning graphics acceleration off immediately fixes YouTube is a pretty good clue.

        I’d keep it off for now, but I’d also update the graphics driver and restart Opera. You could also try opera://gpu and see if anything is showing as disabled or having errors.

        If YouTube works normally with acceleration off, I’d report it to Opera as a regression from the update. Hopefully they can fix whatever changed so you don’t have to leave acceleration disabled permanently.

          Good afternoon,
          I have checked for updates, but Windows says that I have the latest updates. Again puting on the graphic acceleration causes the same problem. opera://gpu: I cannot oversee what ia wrong or right (see attachment)Schermopname (73).png

            @rtabak I see, graphic acceleration shouldn't be doing that. You should definitely report it to opera directly!

                  No, it was on. YouTube only works with graphic acceleration disabled. I forwarded this problem to Opera developers now.

                    @rtabak What's the result in chrome://gpu on other Chromium browsers?
