<![CDATA[Opera Add Blocker not working]]>Hi I have noticed over the last few days that on Yahoo, I am now getting adds popping up.
My Add Blocker indicates that there are no adds to block.
I have not really checked any other sites as this is the site I use the most. For this reason
I'm not sure what I would get on other sites

  1. Please can you verify if this is my issue or does everyone have the same problem.
  2. Please can you verify whether this is only on Yahoo, or a more general problem
    Cheers

@burnhard999 What version of Opera? What are the steps to reproduce the problem? Where does it happens?

49.0.2725.64 (PGO) - Opera is up to date

I am now getting adds popping up

How and when they appear? Ad-blocking and pop-up blocking are different things.

If you use Yahoo Mail you will be aware that the free version has adds on the right
hand side. Also the first row at the top of the page is not your latest email but an add.
Both of these are now showing when they did not about 2 weeks ago,
they were blocked by Opera's add blocker.

Opera's ad-blocker only shows the number of blocked ads.

I understand that, 2 weeks ago it used to show a number of adds blocked on Yahoo but now it shows none.

Please can you verify whether this is only on Yahoo

I have tried to check and it seems that there are no adds blocked on any other sites.
I cannot verify this as I do not use other programs enough to know what else uses ads, but the Add blocker says no adds blocked.

Which one? Here the ad-blocker seems to be working on Yahoo.

This is UK Yahoo.

Thanks for the support
