      So I've noticed, for months or over a year I suppose, that when I'm starting up Opera it usually doesn't start blocking ads right away. Only when I refresh the active page after the browser is completely loaded up. I don't know though if the suspended (background) pages that have ads on them are being let trough if it also happens on the active page.
      I have like 40 tabs open (like 4 Opera windows with 10 tabs each). Maybe it's because I don't have the fastest laptop or that it is mostly because I've got 'too many tabs' open. But I think it's a serious issue.

      What I mean to say is that the adblocker should be one of the primary things that needs to be loaded when starting the browser so that you get protected immediately and not later on.

        I've started Opera with a few tabs opened and the ad-blocker worked as should. I'll try to check later with more tabs.

          I can notice it usually whenever I closed my browser with a Youtube video playing on the active page. Then when you restart the browser, the ads before the video starts to play.
          And I also think, but I'm not sure that you need to have alot more than just the browser open, so the RAM gets almost clogged up to like 90% or so. (Alltho that hardly happens nowadays with how efficient Windows and other programs work, suspending stuff.)
