<![CDATA[Opera start page auto playing Google play video ads]]>Since a recent update every time I open a new tab on opera android, a Google play ad of a random game auto plays. This is beyond aggravating. This never used to happen. No matter what I change I can't stop this behaviour. Deleting pages such as for you, entertainment etc the ads just pop up on the next source. Ad blocker does nothing. How can I stop this, or please can you stop these ads. Auto playing video ads are the absolute worst. I've used opera for years and this is the first thing that has frustrated me to the point of considering other browsers.

Thanks
Rob

If I delete the "for you" tab, it just shows up on whatever tab it defaults to, ie politics, entertainment etc

My start page has nothing on it.
