      Hi, updated to v52.0.2871.40 on Linux. Finding that adverts are not being blocked on YouTube and many other sites despite ad block feature being turned on. I have been careful to remove all whitelisted domains as well. Begs me to ask, is the ad block feature broken in Opera 52? ETA for fix?

          @leocg Actually no! All it shows are headers Default lists, Other lists, Languages and Custom Lists but nothing under these headers. How to download and load the main lists?

            @shamik101 Try this:

            Close Opera, go to the profile folder, delete everything related to the ad-blocker, open Opera and wait for it to fetch the lists.

              @leocg The opera profile folder should be located at ~/.opera ? I can't find this directory. Under linux where is the default profile stored?

                  @leocg That did not seem to help. Deleted both adblocker_data and adblocker_rules.json. Restarted Opera and waited for it to fetch the lists. No change. Ad block still broken!

                      @leocg Apparently not. The adblocker_data folder is recreated but is empty. The .json file is not there. Planning to ditch Opera for good!

                        @shamik101 Did you block auto-update by chance?
