      You Tube demands to turn off your ad blocker. Unfortunately, despite turning it off for website and adding YT for exceptions, nothing changes.

      Text from YT:

      ^ Ad bockers violate YouTube's terms of service

      • It looks like you are using an ad blocker. Videos will be blocked from playing until YouTube is approved or the ad blocker is disabled.

      • Advertising helps billions of people around the world enjoy YouTube.

      • You can enjoy YouTube ad-free with YouTube Premium - creators will receive money from your subscription.

        So, with the new YouTube function it doesn't let you watch videos with adblock, and opera gx already has an adblock installed, and so I can't watch YouTube

          I have a problem where not only does the ad blockers not work for youtube, but youtube "detects" the adblockers even though they are disactivated for youtube. Making it impossible to watch youtube videos using opera gx at all, even vanilla way with ads.
          I checked the same sittuation with chrome, not only the same adblocker works there, but switching all off makes the ads appear and video plays normally,
          So it seems there is a problem with Opera GX making youtube show the window I post as a reference no matter if there are any adblocks working or none, even the one built in opera gx itself. ac36b941-e06d-4615-8883-809f164459b0-image.png (image is in polish but I guess yall know what this is)
          Any way to solve it other than changing the browser?
