      AD blocker quit working when using AOL. Turning it off then on did no good, blocking non intrusive ads did no good, quiting and restarting Opera with latest version did no good. Not sure about other sites. Any idea why?

        I am using Opera on Windows 10 and 11, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint with no issues.

        If you have issues, I recommend this ad blocking extension for Opera:

            Opera is in cahoots with advertisers, its an ok browser for a backup but its constantly trying to auto update and do nefarious things like if you block auto updates you have to enter your pc login to see passwords in the stored log ins which means opera is storing your logins remotely. Its a POS browser now it has embedded things to make them money. Install another ad blocker is the solution IF you even want to use this spyware adware browser. Now im deleting my account from this rubbish.

              @kirkhampton the PC login thing is basic security. Other browsers will do that as well and they do not store your PC password. That's an OS feature and not Opera feature

                The website owners are also at war, to produce anti blocking, learning how the codes works and voila, as google does to vpn. Before opera had altavista as search engin sad, you need to install more than one ads blocker , also use cloudflare dns in opera configuration and in your ipv4 configuration

                  I reset my browser because it was using a lot of ram, and after i did that my add blocker wouldn't work no more.

                    @uzziah11 I didn't reset anything and yesterday I was getting ads on youtube where before I was not. Today I had the same problem so I don't think it's because you reset the browser, I think Opera browser is having an issue with the ad blocker

                      Every time Opera does an automatic upgrade, the ad blocker on YouTube stops working. Is there any way to avoid this in the future?

                                      If your adblocker is not working in Opera for Desktops, there could be several reasons behind this issue. Below are some common troubleshooting steps to resolve the problem:

                                      1. Ensure Adblocker is Enabled
                                        Go to Opera's settings by clicking the Opera logo in the top-left corner.
                                        Select Settings (or press Alt + P on your keyboard).
                                        In the settings panel, scroll down to the Privacy & Security section.
                                        Ensure that the Block ads and web surf up to three times faster option is turned on.
                                      2. Check for Adblocker Updates
                                        Sometimes, an outdated ad blocker might not work properly. Ensure that Opera is up-to-date:

                                      Click the Opera logo.
                                      Select Update & Recovery.
                                      Click Check for updates. If an update is available, install it and restart Opera.

                                        If the adblocker in Opera for Desktop isn’t working, ensure it's enabled in settings and updated to the latest version. Some websites use anti-adblock scripts, so try adding custom filters or using an extension like uBlock Origin. Clearing your cache or disabling conflicting extensions may also help. Still having issues? Try reinstalling Opera or checking for updates..
