      It's working here. Randomly i may get a video with an unblocked ad but it's like 1 in 100.

      Do you have a couple of example links?

        Same problem here. Using Opera Stable and Next, same custom lists, from yesterday, some ads video on Youtube are played.
        Activating VPN semms to block the ads.

        Here are some links:

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8Mh_O6Fp50
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzT0dvNrFc4
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5FoBaaLE5I
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoWADMmz8lw
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNeIBJriwp8

        It seems always the same ads: wix.com

        I tested with uBlock Origin enabled (ONLY Easylist active) and the ads isn't displayed anymore.

            Didn't get any ads on those videos.

            Sometimes i see an ad in a Youtube video but it's very random and seems to happen rarely.

              It's not blocking video-ads. But it blocks "skip" button. So I have to listen to this ridiculously long "You need a website.. Why not use wix?"

                Have you tried removing Google from the whitelist?

                        Same here, wonder why it's still not being fixed.

                              What is the format of a block list? Is it just an alphabetical list of domains?

                              I am seeing the Wix adverts in front of about half or more of the videos I watch, also Rx adverts and snack adverts. Also was stuck watching a five minute advert for a rap group's effects software. That was in front of every video for several days, so much so that I thought that the rappers were paying for the whole of bloody U2b.

                                Opera uses Easylist format.

                                  I'm thinking maybe it's not an Opera bug, but a way some companies have invented to get around the adblocker. There's anti-adblocker software out there now, and I've seen it elsewhere.

                                  While we're on that topic, how do I access settings in the built-in adblocker? I'm on
                                  v.37

                                    Unfortunately it seems it's not only youtube ads that have stopped being blocked. I have started getting new tab pop-ups as well. What's going on 😕 I REALLY don't want to install adblock again, it makes the browser so laggy. I tried for one day and it was getting on my nerves already...

                                      Seems unrelated. Check your computer for malware.

                                        I'm sorry, I must have not expressed myself in a clear manner. The pop-ups that open from time to time are expected to open. Some website always open one pop-up when you first click anywhere on the page, e.g., www.netvasco.com.br. I visit that website a lot and I know they have this ad that pops every first click. From this website Opera has been blocking the pop-ups well. However from other websites I noticed they are not being blocked anymore.

                                          Well, this topic is about YouTube ads so ads in any other page are unrelated stuff.

                                          Also, pop-ups has nothing to do with adblocker. Opera has a pop-up blocker too.

                                          Blocking pop-ups may not be that easy, specially those triggered by clicks.
