Done that, working perfectly now. Thanks for the hint

Also ublock origin can show all blocked data, I am using it not to extract the yt specific ads so I can add them to my PiHole and kill the ads for all devices

Has anyone noticed that this just got worse? I was getting these blank screens with the "skip ad" button, but only ever at the beginning of videos. Now I'm getting them in the middle of videos as well. Feels like Opera are trying to slowly ease us into discontinuing the youtube ad block feature.

Same problem here. I experienced the mid-roll interruption since the beginning of the week. Using Opera Stable and GX on 2 different computers. Already did a full reset and removed all addons.
This helped a bit, I can watch most of the time without the mid-roll interrupt, it mostly comes back if I start jumping inside the video...super annoying if you see the "Add in x seconds" appear after that.

Also tried blocking everything with a pi-hole, additional adblocker etc, nothing seems to work right now
