      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.

                                  try updating your lists at opera://settings/adBlockerLists
                                  if that doesn't work you can try using uBlock Origin

                                  A more detailed guide can be found here

                                    Left is Original Opera. Right is Opera GX(older version AB).
                                    Problem solved. I use original Opera to allday using, and if i want see GX corner,
                                    i turn on Opera GX.

                                      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.

                                        Adblock for youtube seems to be failing.
