Well, I think I finally figured out why my Opera adblocker was enabling itself at random. I have a program called Advanced System Care which I run regularly when it tells me to which was causing the trouble. If I run this program and then open Opera the adblocker is enabled. If I don't run this program and open Opera the adblocker isn't enabled so there is a conflict for some reason. It was a random thing because I ran the program at different times when I wasn't using Opera.

@toomakesense Yes, it's an oddity for everyone but it was happening. Someone else on here had the same issue. As far as I can see is that something got corrupted and saved by Opera as every time I reloaded Opera it reloaded what was already corrupted....bookmark, file, extension...who knows, but when I loaded a fresh version and started over it was fine. I was trying to avoid putting all my "stuff" back into the browser one at a time but it was the only way.
When you download any browser these days it usually saves the settings, bookmarks, etc. from the last time you used it. I was just wondering if when I delete the good version I have will it give me back that one or the other which is corrupt in some way. The reason I ask because the version I got from your way is not the normal way one would download Opera.
@burnout426 I've done what you suggested and the Opera adblocker doesn't enable itself. This means there is something wrong with my other copy of Opera. I disabled all the extensions and things I thought might be the cause but it still wants to enable itself. Therefore I'll stay with the copy I have the way you outlined. If I should have to delete this copy how would I go about getting it back? Will Opera give me a copy of the "new" version I have or resort to the older copy which was giving me trouble?
I agree but it must be happening to more people than we know. How many people do you think come to a forum like this to talk about issues....5% maybe 10% of Opera users? I find forums great to get information so I keep at it.
Yes, it's definitely a mystery but it happens to others as someone has mentioned in this thread. I sent a bug report in but they said they wouldn't reply so I guess I'll wait to see if someone has a fix. I could dump Opera and start from the beginning but I hesitate as I'd have to put all my "stuff" back in. Maybe some rainy day I'll take a stab at it.
@dagnorkle As someone who likes to troubleshoot issues, I was wondering if anybody has ever come up with a ...why... in why would the Opera Adblocker enable/disable itself at will? I watch this happen almost daily depending on the page.
