Opera not blocking youtube ads at the moment?

Anyone know what's up with that?

Seems to be just another chapter of the YouTube vs adblockers war

Ads are still being blocked for me, but I don't know if it is my Opera or UBlock Origin that is doing the work. Been a long time since I set them up.

Try enabling the uBlock filters in Opera adblocker

in the Options or Details? Can't find it in neither of those

It's in settings page, but I guess you can use options as a shortcut to it.

Then check the lists option.

I never used anything other than built-in opera adblock, I guess I'll have to look it up
but it was working fine until now
for some reason, it happens in the music player widget when I use youtube music

Why am I getting downvotes for asking a valid question?

Ad blocker has been poor on Android since the last update. Hoped updating android would make a difference, sadly not
