Its in general, not just YouTube. I think that they are now trying to put the adblockers to work which will come with updates. That's just me

Since I just upgraded to Opera One, now I see the ads. Why the change? I don't like it!

Have also been hoping when updating that the starthomepage button will come back to the address bar as it is such a way of life for me and no doubt 90% of the population, having to go to the bottom left corner is so alien to me.

Honestly even 3-4 seconds waiting would be catastrophic..

@maxx8uk
Glad to know it wasn't just me.
I can get used to tweaks in appearance, but the adblocker extension not working is a show stopper.
And it started, ie, the ads started, with One.
Please fix this, Opera admins. We're small in number but we're loyal to you. Don't make it hard for us.

downloaded Opera one version 100.0.4815.20 to a guest account.

Accessed you tube and no ads.

So it is a change by opera in the update that now allows ads on you tube. Why ?

I'm running 100.0.4815.54 with all updates current and YT ads appearing.

It just means I can't close opera or shut down my PC as Opera will update back to 100.0.4815.47 .

I'll wait till the next update and check that version out on a guest account to see if Opera decide to bring back you tube blocking.

Most ads are blocked but the prerolls on YT sneak through. I had no such problem before last update (or two).

It good anyway, to support the creator with the ads.

Ok weird I noticed that opera needed an update ?

Some how my main account Opera is now running version 100.0.4815.30 of Opera one ?

If I close opera it has 100.0.4815.47 ready to load !

I never even downloaded .30 to try on main or guest account wtf ?

So I tried it after it updated to 100.0.4815.47 and got pre roll ads.
That was when I went back to the main account and got the Opera One ad pre roll and posted the previous comment.

But now the next vid had no pre roll ? tried 3 more and no ads.

I have been submitting bug reports about it so maybe support updated the
Block Ads - Manage lists on 100.0.4815.47
to bring it back inline with 100.0.4815.20
?
I will repost if ads return in case its a case of you get ads after a certain amount of time (a quota each day) or
you get more ads after hitting an amount of vids watched limit.

It wasn't a You Tube change that allowed the Ads it was an opera one change that allowed them.

Opera GX still blocks pre roll ads and opera mobile still blocks pre roll ads.
