While ad-blocking in GX failed completely, the tests with regular Opera browser were a bit weirder. You may have noticed that I mentioned Opera GX so far. But this seemed completely random, one day it would work, the next day it didn't. I also noticed that if I kept watching videos for a while, I wouldn't get the ads until I exited the browser and came back. This made me wonder whether it depends on the channel that has uploaded the video, because the ones without ads were from specific channels, and these were mostly big brand channels who were probably in it for the marketing, and not the monetization part.
When I kept switching through videos in a large playlist, nearly every single video had an ad, but some didn't. Opera GX doesn't seem to block 9 out of 10 ads. So I stuck to the default lists and used the browser primarily to watch videos.
