@Jeremyy5 Same here. The updated version of Opera triggers an error warning when watching YouTube videos. ("An error has occurred. Please refresh the page or try again later."). This hasn't been observed in Opera GX yet.

I haven't seen any YouTube ads for over a year until this update. Now I get the YouTube doesn't allow adblocker thing.

@Andrash We are currently investigating these intermittent playback errors under Ticket nr: ADBL-406. The issue doesn't reproduce consistently for everyone, but it appears to be linked to how the uBO: Filters list is parsed in certain scenarios. As a temporary workaround, disabling just that specific list in your settings (opera://settings/adBlockerLists) should restore video playback.

@talktokarina: Like for 2 days and then I turned off the ad blocker because of the warning youtube sent me.

NO, unfortunately it doesn't work that way either. The only solution that works is Opera Air. There's no problem... yet, we don't know :))

I've been using Opera since windows xp, that's about more than 20 years. Ad blockers sadly don't work anymore. Mainly on YouTube, ads are so aggresive, sometimes every 3minutes, for longer than 3 minutes, 2 and 3 ads back to back without the 'skip' option before the end of at least the first one. On a 20 minutes video content, ads can exceed 30 minutes. A lot of ads miss the 'skip' option ...
The ad problem has been huge lately. You got the picture.
Please, use all the brains of your staff and assistants to help us with that.
Please, do something.

@grimmey: as the Opera team mentioned in another comment, temporarily disabling the 'uBO: Filters' list in your adblocker settings usually bypasses that YouTube playback error while they work on the permanent fix (Ticket ADBL-406). Hang in there!

@Christina-001 Hi, could you please share your settings in opera://settings/adBlockerLists? I'm interested which lists were selected.
