            Ad block doesn't work in YouTube
            Is there pressure from Google?
            Because ad blocking doesn't work. Tracker blocker doesn't work either.
            This happened recently, it never happened before. It's disappointing.

              Does Opera ad blocking block YouTube adverts ?

              Never had any ads before my upgraded Laptop to OS W11, but now I seem to be bombarded by ads.

              Any help appreciated.

                @archaicwarrior888 YouTube and other pages are always trying to find a way to bypass adblockers. Sometimes they manage to be able to do that.

                  I don't know why, but on this special news site, when I turn ad-blocking on (and even disable acceptable ads) I get this result:
                  With ad-blocking.png

                  But when I disable adblocking and tracking protection completely, I see it like this:
                  Without Adblocking.png

                  In Firefox I get the same result as with adblocking disabled on Opera.

                  Here adblocking behaves exactly opposite to preferences. My guess would be: Spiegel partners with Opera (eg. on speed dial) and so is allowed to circumvent the adblocker.

                  Or may there be a another explanation for this?

                    It's working again as it should.

                      This has nothing to do with add-ons/extensions (I have none, unless you count Opera VPN). The simple fact is, Opera Browser used to have a functioning adblocker that blocked the ads on YouTube - and now it doesn't!

                        all of a sudden I am getting ads on several sites. Gatewaypundit.com, theepochtimes.com. is there somewhere I should report this formally?
                        that said, I love Opera.
