Oh wow....I didn't know that.......Guess that is just how things work online eh?

This forum? I see nothing blocked here mate.

Oh thanks for the info. So it means that whenever I am playing a video, youtube will constantly send trackers to their servers or requests for ads to their servers?

So when the request is blocked youtube will resend the request, hence increasing ads blocked?

Thankyou

Here is my problem:

Ah I see I see. I was just surprised that a 30 odd minute video would contain 141 ads.

Edit: Seems like links wont show

Fiddler is one of them.

Thanks a lot for the info! I have checked it out and it seemed beyond my knowledge. I will try to use similar programs such as TCP view.

There are programs for that. Or you can just observe your connection activity.

May I kindly know some of these programms? Thank-you

Is this normal?

Yes I guess. Seeing 20, 30+ ads blocked on a Youtube page here is usual.

Thanks for the reply admin. May I kindly know have you tried the youtube link I provided and see if you can get 141 ads block?

The thing is if I load the Youtube video page without playing the video, my ad-block number would be hovering around 15++. If I were to play the video, every 10 or so seconds, the ad-block counter would go up by one.

Greetings everyone,

I recently enabled Opera's inbuilt ad-blocker with the following filters:
Easylist, Easy Privacy, Adblock Warning Removal, Malware block.

After watching some youtube videos, I would find that the number of ads block would be ridiculously high.
An average of 20-50 ads block for short videos and a whopping 141 ads block from watching (well watching with intermittent pauses) the following video:

Is this normal? Is there a log for the ads block using opera's in-built ad-blocker?

Can anyone confirm my situation?

Thank-you
