No Ad's being Blocked

Post by Mawdeuce »

I got a new laptop, installed the exact same browser I have had previously and now I have no ad's blocked.

I have opera 49.0

- from your image I see 2 ads blocked (number on icon)
- however, get another site (digitalspy is somehow "special" => kind of ads ABP cannot managed very well) and see if what happens.
- if it's only digitalspy or some other similar site => try ublock origin (which can manage such sites).
Eventually disable the builtin adblock from opera.

- did you disable the builtin stuff ?
- did you check in ABP if the lists (especially easylist) is correctly (no failures) downloaded ? see in options / filter lists
- what's your ABP version ?
