      The ad blocker isn't working anymore in Youtube.

      Actually, Youtube doesn't even want you to not watch ads anymore so badly rn.

        I've been using Opera GX for a while now and I've started getting a lot of ads even though the ad-blocker is on. Its mostly local ads and not international ads getting through.

        I've seen about 10-15 ads and most of them are 30 seconds and cant be skipped which is very annoying.

        I suggest a feature where you could manually block ads by for example right-clicking and selecting the block this ad (or what ever you want it to be called). Idk how ad-block works but i know that it's possible to do this since I've seen it in other ad-blocker extensions on Google Chrome for example

            The ad bloker is not working and I get ads in the middle of the videos. I have no exceptions on my exception list. In the config I have Opera ad blocker website fixes, Easylist and Nocoin marked. I activated the tracker after receiving an ad but it changed nothing.
            Using Opera as the main browser without the Ad Blocker is not worth it. I really like the Opera and don't want to change the browser. Can someone please help me fix it?

              @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.
