Opera Sync doesn't work.
Or in a way, it does, but not in the way that I feel most people use it for: Bookmarks.

My Opera manages to sync the workspaces, but not my Bookmarks.
And it's never synced Open Tabs in all the years I've used it, and yes, before some idiot says "oh well you should make sure that was toggled on", it's been on via "Sync Everything" for more than 3 years.
It's also never synced Settings, always have to manually change them every time I use a new device, or reinstall Opera due to some issue with my computer.

When I go to Opera Sync (The Opera page, not in Settings), it says I have 12 Open Tabs (Utterly false, I have 50+), and 2322 Bookmarks (Possibly accurate, I don't care enough to count them), but that's for this account.
My other account has "5048 Bookmarks", which is not only absurd (I've never gotten that high), but also absolutely inaccurate. that account has less than 50 Bookmarks, and if it's supposed to have 5K+... then where the hell are they, cause I certainly don't see them.

Sometimes it manages to sync Bookmarks cross-device (Computer to Computer, Mobile isn't worth the effort), but that's few and far between, even when both devices are turned on, both browsers are open, and both devices have Sync enabled with the exact same Settings.

I'm at the point where I might just go back to Firefox. The only reason I continue to use Opera, is because of the utility offered by Workspaces.

I know this sounds like a rant (And to be fair, it is), but it's gotten to the point where I'm not just being inconvenienced. I'm being annoyed and inconvenienced.
I know it takes time to sync things. But I think 30+ minutes is a long time, especially if it's not even Syncing everything (Both literally and figuratively, no idea what's going on with those Sync statistics).

Edit: Maybe I just need to clear my Sync data? Maybe that would fix this issue? I don't know, and unless a dev or something confirms that should fix it, then I'm simply not going to further inconvenience myself by doing so.

@tnts You should probably check your User Rules, I've broken things by using them haphazardly.

Apparently sync either doesn't work at all, only partially works, or works just fine.

Just had my bookmarks "sync" from my PC to my laptop, and it didn't even sync the bookmarks properly, as only a few of the new ones got popped over to the other device, while still failing to sync the older bookmarks.

How am I supposed to delete all those bookmarks in Trash if I can't even access them?

@2byorha Uncertain, it seems to be working on my side, but this is a couple hours after you, so try again, if it works, great.
If it doesn't, try another browser to see if AG is working there. uBO is another popular alternative, though it doesn't seem to get updated as often as AG. Unsure if that's because it rarely needs to be though, as I update both of them at the same time.

@shiningstardiane That's fine. What YT is doing is amusingly dubiously legal in the EU.

@Marigold787 Try updating now, if it doesn't work, do it again tomorrow, had to wait a day for it to work once before.

A reminder to anyone using Opera GX: If your AB gets blocked, you can use the Player in the sidebar.

@youtubesucks Sounds like you were using a trial for the paid version.
Never had that issue.
And since you don't seem to understand this: Every adblocker will have issues with YouTube because of their efforts to stop people from using them on their platform.
That's why you're supposed to update them manually every 1-3 days to ensure they keep working.

@shiningstardiane Just update.
If that doesn't work, and you're using OperaGX, use Player (It's in the Sidebar) until it does.

@fl4k
That's (Seemingly) assuming you're running a Samsung, which not everyone is.

still sucks that i have to keep updating this filter

Welcome to YouTube being desperate.
The CEO must want another Yacht. Or any of a thousand different things rich people seem to delude themselves into believing they need, but actually don't.
Earlier this year (And further), it worked just fine without constant manual updates being necessary.
And I guarantee you: Another adblocker won't be any different.

@2byorha said in Adguard:

@2byorha: They fixed the filter, it OK now.

It's been detected, ~2 hours of not working.
If it happens, just wait it out, nothing else to do beyond paying for Premium.
A possible alternative is the Opera GX Player, but I believe that has ads as well.

@2byorha
If you have the issue again, there's a good chance it's the base Opera adblocker, just had to add an Exception because YT was blocking it.
