@hion Yeah, you're right. I've had the same issue with Opera's ad block, Youtube was showing ads with a white screen in the background. But, when I tried with Ublock Origin, the bug hasn't appeared anymore since then. So, Ublock is amazing to block ads and works very well.

I have the same problem for a while now. I'm to lazy to download another adblocker, so I think I'll just wait until it's fixed or I get pissed enough to use something that words.

The "advertisers" come up with a new option, how to deliver their "product" to the user. So it's sometimes inevitably to catch some ads on websites. But usually it's quite easy to watch youtube without annoying ads.

It seems to be a common problem as I have seen several posts regarding it.

Seems like Opera doesn't consider the ad blocking a selling point...

@alex2293 Hi Alex and thanks for the tip.
I know I can install another adblocker and everything should be fine, that's what I did, but I prefer to have the integrated adblocker and not to use an external app. That's why I like Opera.
Hope they will fix this problem soon.

I wonder if the developers are aware of this problem. I haven't heard a word from them. We've been dealing with this for months. Other ad blockers had the exact same problem and they all managed to fix it. One of the Opera's main features is broken and no one cares, I don't understand.

Yes, I'm aware of the fact that I can choose another ad blocker, but that's not a solution. What is going on?

Even with the adblocker on, i still have to skip youtube ads even if the ads themselves dont really show up. And on youtube music, the ads still just play as if there is no adblocker.

Twitch ads aren't being blocked.

On Opera Mobile, YouTube ads aren't being blocked at all.

Hello, Opera devs, how are you today? It's been months and we didn't get a single answer.

Hello, please fix the built-in ad blocker. It doesn't work at all. For example, I just installed the Opera update and after that the ad blocker simply refuses to block ads. Please correct it.
