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.

Yes, nothing has been done so far.
Still, the Adblocker fails to block YouTube ads.
I thought it has been solved. Let hopes for 2021.

This a global problem with any build in adblock using filterlists that dont change it. Not sure if Opera is involved in this on purpose but that specific ad on youtube is annoying and even freezes the tab sometimes.

Same happened to me, but i installed a second adblocker (ublock origin) And still have to skip ads. Idk what's this. I don't wanna install a third adblocker, because just in a site where you must disable your adblocker i will have to disable all my 3 ad blockers, annoying.

@sasha123 You should stop using the build in blocker and only use uBlock. Also delete all data collected in the past including cockies. This helped for me. No ads anymore, even on Youtube.
