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.

So a few months ago I found a solution for this problem....
If we can't use the already built in adblocker, then why don't we download another from the extensions tab??
I also have a problem for the extensions tab. When I revealed the link it said "US" at the end so I used a vpn to access the extensions tab and download an extension called "Install chrome extensions" Then I downloaded "ABP ad blocker"
And that's how I fixed the problem for me
Hope it worked for you. -

despite having the pop-up blocker turned on. Anyway, when I play an animeFLV video, an advertising window pops up.

Just today started having an issue where now the regular built in adblocker is leaking ads on Spotify which hadn't been happening.

@desco1204 Me too, this problem also exist for youtube and youtube music. But for me there is since the third-last update.
