        @near564 I got exactly the same thing, but I think, every ad-blocker does that

          So when is the Opera built-in adblocker going to be fixed so this stops happening?

              Hello. 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. Opera Снимок_2021-05-13_061824_www.youtube.com.png

                  Use chrome ad blocker using chrome store extension , I'm using this method since 2 months and not a single ad is playing on YouTube

                    using opera ad block on youtube and although the app shows that it blocks ads get ads without a skip button. deleting the browser and reistalling doesn't fix the problem. If they dont fix it i'm going with Vivaldi browser

                      @harshraisaxena Have you tired within the past two days? Something has changed, as all the old fixes are no longer working. Ad's are starting to show up once again.

                          Now all the ads are showing again.
                          I don´t even get the white screen again, they just appears like nothing.

                          Something has changed cuz nothing is working now.

                            @harshraisaxena Did all you said using Chrome extension and both ad blockers turned on... thought it was working. Unfortunately tonight ad's started showing up yet again.

                              It looks like it's only a youtube issue not a general issue. The ads on other websites are successfully blocked but not on youtube. Maybe youtube has found a way to bypass the ad blocker.

                                @takemetonarnia4 Exactly! 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.

                                  @xxdestxx Same here.
                                  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

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