Adblocker isn't not working properly on YouTube! I'm still getting ads on videos, mostly the double ads in the begining of the video.

so i had the same problem till two minutes ago: no ad blocker functioning on youtube, even ublock origin or some other from the google extensions (i tried at least 10 different ad blockers, one by one without having more than one on) and None of them were functioning... now i updated my opera gx two minutes ago and the problem seems solved But: an ad appear at the start of every video for a split second than disappear, and also in one video i tried an ad appeared completely like without ad block and was completely unskippable... is like one out of 10, but is still better than those last days when every freaking video had an ad at the beginning of it... hopefully with the next update it get even better and smoother (just for reference, i had the same ad block on chrome browser and it function perfectly there, even the last days, so the problem is clearly not youtube or the ad blocks, but opera gx itself)

@logius95 news from the new update:
now some ads (the minor part of them) are still able tu pop up at the beginning of the video, and all the time it happens until now, they are unskippable (like from 10 to 15 seconds more or less)... for the rest of them they appear for a split second and they are immediately skipped automatically... hopefully those minor problems will be fixed in the next update. -

Hi,
I work on Easylist and Brave. The main issue here is the blocking done by Opera is basic network level blocking. For Opera to properly block Youtube ads, it'll need to support javascript snippets.

@logius95 Opera will do basic network blocking, so just domain and folder blocking level stuff.
For 80% sites this is fine. However there is complex methods done by websites of inserting ads/adchecks using javascript, which is supported by uBO, Brave, ABP etc. Which allows list authors to tailor javascript snippet rules to counter these, including youtube.
