@fehlberg Sites are always trying to bypass adblockers, sometimes they manage to get some success. Then the adblockers are updated and everything starts again.

This happens both with the saved tabs that are reopend after Opera Gx start up. I tried many times as an expirement. Press the X on the top right. Start up Opera Gx and the youtube video that was saved will display an advert. Other than that Many comic websites Like Mangakakalot and the like have certain amount of adverts popping up. The adverts do not fully show up as they are shown as gray blank squares butthe shape and the pop up of the advert still manifest interrupting the reading process.

Youtube has started to show ads despite the Opera GX adblocker being turned on. This has been working for quite a while now but just recently ads have unfortunately started to appear.

It appears that you might need to do something on the Settings. Just simply go to the Preferences > Manage exceptions, then remove everything you see on the list of Exceptions. Just click on the three dots and then click remove, rinse and repeat for other websites as well. Once done, Restart the browser to take effect. We attached a screenshot to show you.

@jediminecraft1 As have been reported on the news recently, YouTube is starting to block all adblockers.

Hi! Need some help. I can't watch videos on YouTube. It says disable your ad blocker. Adviсe? Opera GX - best imho.

ad blocker has stopped working I have it enabled and when I went to go watch a show Ii would normally not have any pop ups or phish ads take me to random sites when pressing play, however the ad blocker just doesn't stop this traffic anymore and it's frustrating to have to close down three to four ads to watch a movie is there a reason for this?

As of yesterday I am seeing ads on YouTube. I guess Google finally defeated us.

@officiallazarhead yep just happened today for me. Came here to see if there are any alternatives other than paying for another subscription.

@buie9394 It really is a world war on ads going on. YouTube constantly fortifies the ads and all the browsers are evolving and adapting to match with their adblocks. Hopefully Opera will reign supreme at the end.

@amelialily2584 Yeah, Google have figured out how to make it so the full ad plays on YouTube without a skip button and muted.

For me it seems to have fixed it by turning "block trackers" off, so that it is disabled. The setting is just underneath where you turn the addblocker on or off.
