Hi, I have the same problem. Been using Opera for years, the built in adblock always worked perfectly. Now each YouTube video has an add at the start of the video.
All exceptions have been removed. I don't know if I should re-install.
Other websites seem to be okay.

Looks like Google outsmarted AddBlock and Opera in this round.
Even Add-block in Edge doesn't work.
I suppose Opera will address this in the next update

@mr-matt-eastwood I just noticed that the 'save' feature does not work anymore, e.g. watch later or saving to a playlist.
Looks like Google has declared war on us freeloaders
To circumvent this, I just save using my phone.
