      I have the ad block turned on in the settings but in some websites ads still pop-up.
      I'd there a way to block ads or is only up to Opera to decide what to block?

        The adblock feature doesn't work correctly as Opera Mini team said.

            It works after a proper test drive. Miss here and there sometimes but most sites doesn't smell the Ad block signature. That's the main attribute for current config.

                It seems that all browsers looks the same now with or without adblocker. Hard to miss that russian poke which wasn't there yesterday but still I need a second opinion.

                  Maybe it's better to explain the picture because i don't see anything that shows what you said.

                        Same problem also for me.
                        With data saving "Extreme" adblock seems fine but with "High" doesn't block anything!

                              Nothing, I tried everything with Tab A 7.0 (android 5.1.1) and S5 (android 6.0.1) but does not block ads. I am the only one with this problem?

                                When you use High savings mode and you are connected via WiFi, you need to have "WiFi data savings" setting enabled to have ad-block working, as only then your traffic goes through our Opera Turbo servers where we block ads for you. When you have "WiFi data savings" disabled and you are connected to WiFi, then all your webpages are loaded directly from web servers - without Opera Turbo, so we don't have a chance to block any content. We know it's hard to understand this, so this behavior will likely be changed in future.

                                With Extreme savings mode pages are always loaded via Opera Mini servers, so it works no matter if you use WiFi or mobile data.

                                Please also keep in mind that our ad block solution does not block all ads on the Internet and none will ever do so. But if you still see ads everywhere, please report a bug on https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/mini and post here your report ID.
