I now have version 127.0.5778.76 and youtube videos refused to play, it will say "content unavailable now, please try later". After playing with the extension around, I found disabling Opera's own ad blocker will allow Youtube videos to be played.

Can you fix this, ad block is useful.

@ukbirdflu As you should know, if you weren't sleeping in the last year or two, YouTube is blocking ad blockers and is increasing the difficulties for those using that tool more and more each time.

So, basically, it's a cat and mouse chase between YouTube and ad blockers. When ad blockers find a way to bypass YouTube's restrictions, then YouTube make changes and ad blockers stop working again e the cycle keeps repeating.
