YouTube suddenly popped up an actual ad (and not the suppressed ones, a full on semi-nsfw one). Problem is i dont know why? I wasn't even messing with the settings. It was as it was. I even installed and move to from Opera to OperaGX, so i entered YouTube. Of course since it was a new browser i wasnt logged in, so i click on one and it worked while i wasnt logged in, so i go happy and log in from here. Google confirmation stuff and finally log in. Entered YouTube and Now it shows full on ads again. I just logged off and watched 10 vids on a roll,no ad problem so i dont understand what is happening
Opera(and OperaGX) addblock fails on YouTube when the account is signed in. And it doesnt when its not signed in. What is happening? Is that only happening to me?

Currently, GX is my preferred browser, however today I was surprised that when I was on YouTube, it showed me the video advertising something that previously did not happen when having the option to block advertising activated, did something happen?

Exact same problem as the 2 above me. When signed into Youtube, ads pop up. When logged out, no ads.
Using Opera GX latest, no update available for the browser, and no update available for the Adblock Lists. -

My ad-blocker stopped working 3 days ago, but it only stopped working for Youtube. I use the latest version and the ad-blocker is on.

@ryxslow I think most of us know about other adblockers, the real fix would be Opera updating the browser. Using another adblock on a browser which has "built-in adblocker" as one of its main selling points is less a fix and more a workaround sadly

Just noticed that the built-in adblocker is no longer working on youtube pre-roll video ads. This wasn't the case a few hours ago.

Opera adblock doesnt block video ads on youtube. When i check on the adblock it says it blocked ads but it actually doesnt.

I think this Opera needs to patch this one, so that this ad is no more. it's annoying.

Before the issue whenever I opened a youtube video it wouldn't show an ad but have a skip ad button immediately. Now Its like I have no adblocker. I tried disabling it and re-enabling it but it still doesn't work.
