      Hello I did some tests and found out that it's high time you people updated your lists.
      Even google ads are not blocked.
      Opera for android
      Device: samsung m51 android 11
      Version: 64.1.3282.59829
      Ad blocker enabled
      Data savings and vpn disabled

      Tried brave, samsung internet with ABP extension, Firefox with Ublock origin extension and they score 100% in these ad block tests!Screenshot_20210704-132926_Opera.jpg

        I agree. Adblocking in Opera for Android isn't very efficient, unlike AdBlock Plus and AdGuard. There's not even an option to choose specific filters.

        I've stumbled upon many ads while browsing with Opera, even with "Acceptable ads" option disabled.

        This is something that really needs improvement in Opera for Android.

          And this poor adblocking issue was reported to Opera at least 2 years ago back then. But Opera developers doesn't give a s***t. They simply don't care. Maybe because Opera becomes a poor chinese ad company now. Because the company is owned by poor chinese.
          Opera for Android, Opera Mini, Opera for Desktop all suffer this ad blocking issue.
