Hah. Trust your data to the nightmare that is Opera's privacy policies.

And still the adblocker is the worst of its kind, and still no support for AdGuard's HTTPS filtering (the only Android browser which doesn't allow this!).

RE: Opera for Android integrates Ethereum Layer 2, bringing access to DeFiBlogs
Okay, brilliant, lots more crypto and all that. But when will Opera for Android finally block Google/Bing search ads and Twitter/LinkedIn promoted posts? Your built-in adblocker is unworthy of that name, and Opera is the only Chromium browser to disallow AdGuard's HTTPS filtering. I've reported this to your devs ad nauseam, but answer came there none!

Another browser, more fragmentation. Why?

But if you want a browser that actually blocks Google Search ads, look elsewhere.

@shintoplasm01 @leocg On what basis do you edit users' posts?

Important note: Opera's built-in adblocker does not block Google search ads.

@shintoplasm01 @StefanOpera Even the latest Edge 96 for Android has upgraded its adblocker to block Google search ads. Only Opera lets them through.

@shintoplasm01 @StefanOpera : FYI, I've reported the adblocker issue under ANDEX-95662.

Still not happy with the following two long-standing issues in Opera Android:
- Built-in adblocker consistently allowing Google Search ads. This entirely misses the point of having an adblocker...
- Inability to change the default search engine to anything that's not on the built-in list. Especially egregious is the lack of Startpage in your default list.

RE: A billion thanks for a billion downloads!Blogs
@markjordan What do you mean? On Android, Brave's adblocker (when set to 'Aggressive') blocks Google search ads. AdGuard (the app) also blocks everything, but since Opera on Android doesn't allow AdGuard's HTTPS blocking I have to rely on its built-in adblocker, which does not block Google search ads.

RE: A billion thanks for a billion downloads!Blogs
@sgunhouse Does the mobile browser's adblocker also block Google Search ads for you? It certainly doesn't on mine.

RE: A billion thanks for a billion downloads!Blogs
Yet the adblocker is worthless, for all your billion downloads.

RE: Meet the world’s first alternative browser optimized for ChromebooksBlogs
What's the use of your mobile browsers' built-in adblocker if it lets through Google Search ads? Either allow us to block all ads, add custom filter URLs, or don't pretend your adblocker is worth anything.

RE: Google Search ads are not blockedOpera for Android
@ney31337 This is about Opera's Android app, not the desktop. In Android none of these pages are visibly on the whitelist, yet Google search ads are still there. It's an internal thing, some kind of built-in limitation that Opera has decided to retain in the mobile app.

Oh god, even more fragmentation with resources to be spread even thinner...
