I love Opera and so I have been going back and forth between Chrome and Opera but this is extra and I do not know how long I can do this. Opera has so many great features, I am not sure why this issue keeps arising.

What blocks the ads is the adblocker, so you just need to enable or disable it to have ads blocked or allowed.

What settings are in a bad place?

But it is concerning for me that the settings were so hard to use and took hours.

The browser is blocking adverts behind a convoluted and confusing settings system.

So the settings are in a bad place and not nearly enough cookies are being blocked.

This post is a bit messed up now due to restrictions on my editing and deleting privileges which I don't see how my post is now your property..

How come I can't delete or edit my posts after just 30 minutes?

I looked into the setting and followed some of of the instruction carefully but for some bizzarre reason, the post is deleted.

But it is a major concern for the software that it was almost impossible to do and took literally hours and hours.

Add to that that I'm a software engineer and it beggars belief anyone else could ever manage it.

The browser is essentially blocking adverts behind a convoluted mess of a settings system of menus that are extremely confusing and opaque.

But I have spent hours and hours studying it to find how to enable advertising and find the hundreds of cookies that every website seems able to give you whether you clicked anything or not.

So well done Opera, you've almost completely destroyed the codebase.

What will your next trick be...?

YT still thinks Opera is ad-blocking.

I wonder what the redacted comment said.

So I had to move over to Chrome for this reason.

Regarding your advice. I found it all borderline dangerous.

If the former, try the latter.

Also, make sure lucid mode is off at the URL opera://settings/lucidMode.

Then, goto the URL opera://settings/content/all, type youtube.com in the search field and click "Delete displayed content". Then, repeat for google.com.

Then, goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData and clear "cached images and files" for all time.

Then see if Youtube still thinks you're using an adblocker. If so, disable your extensions at the URL opera://extensions one by one and repeat the clearing of Youtube and Google data and your cache and try again.

If still no go, you might have to fool Youtube into thinking you're using Chrome. See https://reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/known_issues/#wiki_can.27t_log_in_to_twitch for 2 examples of how to do that.
