@magogam Nothing is fixed untill today, 29/July/2023
#Opera can you bring back the function of skip the ads on youtube ?

I still say that to compete with the Google ads service, you will have to lower the minimum budget amount.
Or create an offer for a voucher to test the service like google does.

Fan of your browser, with a more flexible ad system, who knows, a future fan too

@sankalpajoshii You can turn it off, it's "Suggested sites" in Settings.

Is too fine in fact is Nice

@leocg I had run an anti-virus and cleaned some other problems too but i also discovered the cause of the problem. Which is not related to the browser or at least not directly. It was a website that i am using that was having pop up ad system which normally always blocked by Opera but seems they either changed something or my Opera got lazy so it started to show itself. Added it to the adblock list as an extra measure which now closes the pop up easily. Though why it didn't before i do not know. Anyway thank you for helping me.

@stevelee204 This is still a problem, but you don't need to install uBlock Origin. Just add Adguard's filters to Opera's adblocker: https://kb.adguard.com/en/general/adguard-ad-filters
I suspect it's the Annoyances filter. Problem solved.

@leocg Some of the Youtube ads are getting by uBlock Origin too, so that's probably correct.
