      @kyeq Adblockers usually are based on lists that says them what should be blocked.
      In the adblocker section of Opera's settings page, you can manage those lists.

          There are also no exceptions in what is allowed to have ads.

            @kyeq This is not exactly how things work. If there is no indication that there is an ad, it will not be blocked.

                    Thats enabled. Should I just uninstall and reinstall? Will that even work?

                      @kyeq Only YouTube and Crunchyroll are having issues with ads? Any other site where the adblocker doesn't work?

                          @kyeq Any examples of YouTube videos with those ads? I've tried a few ones and couldn't see any ads.

                            Everything is enabled. Maybe there's an outside application affecting it?

                                        Hi, I have the same problem. Been using Opera for years, the built in adblock always worked perfectly. Now each YouTube video has an add at the start of the video.
                                        All exceptions have been removed. I don't know if I should re-install.
                                        Other websites seem to be okay.

                                          Looks like Google outsmarted AddBlock and Opera in this round.
                                          Even Add-block in Edge doesn't work.
                                          I suppose Opera will address this in the next update

                                            @vr2000 I agree with you. They will fix in next update. I hope.
