<![CDATA[YouTube isn't working properly with ad-blocker on]]>I've had this problem for about two weeks on Opera GX
I have the adblock activated. A week ago when I was playing a video, there were no ads playing at the beginning, but a blank screen showed and the "Skip" button.
I restored the settings to their original defaults in the "Reset settings" section of opera.
and that problem was solved.

But the problem that has persisted for two weeks is that I cannot advance the video or delay it with the play bar, neither increase or decrease the volume.

The last option I wanted was to reinstall the browser because all the useful extensions I have and the bookmarks, although I have already made a backup but still it will take much time to reinstall everything. I want to know if there is any other option 😞

I'm sorry if I wrote something wrong, English isn't my first language.

Does this ring a bell? Now it getting worse. Opera should patch this one. No point using GX because it was the same.

I think I've been having this problem too and for over a week now. The ads keep popping out and not just a white screen like before

I've not had any issues with other sites. Thinking the battle with YouTube and their "pesky ad's" (trying to be polite) will continue. They have a step up on this round, but I believe we'll come out ahead in the end.

The ads on other websites are successfully blocked but not on youtube. Maybe youtube has found a way to bypass the ad blocker.

If they dont fix it i'm going with Vivaldi browser

My youtube recently just not working if I use adblock. Every time I click on video it tells me that I am offline until I reload the page. Also, even with turned on adblock adds are still playing.

So you just have to wait some seconds doing nothing but waiting and the video will resume immediatly. It is no more than 5 seconds acording to my brain.

Here is the image. It shows on the timeline the duration of the ad but it skips past it after 5 or so seconds. Sometimes it shows two different playback ID's, but every time it skips past them and then plays the video. I doubt there are any fixes for it at the moment, but I hope this might help with fixing the issue.
