<![CDATA[Is there a chance that the built-in adblocker will be enhanced?]]>When comparing Opera's built-in blocker to Vivaldi's and Brave's. It is the weakest of the 3 with Brave being the strongest. Both on desktop and mobile.

I believe for mobile it should be enhanced since it fails to block pop-ups with explicit images and web redirects to malicious content, mostly 'cash prizes' or crypto stuff. Like that perhaps Opera might have an edge on the mobile market?

Don't know if they are easily recognizable as ads.

But on some news websites pop-ups arent blocked:

https://lexpress.mu
https://defimedia.info

Google trackers are not blocked when you use gmail etc, but external adblockers do.

You also have this website where redirects and questionable ads are also present:

movies2watch.tv

On desktop I can bypass it with an external adblocker but on mobile well...

Pop-ups are blocked by the pop-up blocker that should also block redirects.
