How to block #google_vignette to show up?

Hello all.

When I open randons sites suddenly the page fades and an ad shows up and the adress bar is added with the #google_vignette.

For instance, I tried to open a site www.idgnow.com and when loading the page it showd an ad in an popup and the adree becomes www.idgnow.com/#google_vignette

I guess its something related to the opera ad blocker by changing some ads from the site with this crap?

I dont know what it is but this behavior occurs from many years ago and now Im going to stop it. If not possible so opera no more.

Last time I checked it seems like the site itself does that, but if you use an adblocker that just blocks those ads that load up and not the whole content area for the ad, you might get some weird behavior.

I would goto the URL opera://settings/privacyProtection and disable Opera's adblocking and tracking protection completely. Then, install uBlock Origin for adblocking to see if it takes care of it for you.

@burnout426 so your suggestion is to disable opera built in blocker to use an 3rd party one? and you suggest it on operas forums?

Yes.

The site you linked to doesn't load for me at all (doesn't seem to exist). Do you have another example? If so, I can see if I can find a solution that will work for Opera's adblocker.
