Some days it failed to block ads, sometimes it would load the ad and skip it in a split-second, sometimes I didn't get ads at all. 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.

If a browser with lots of options is what you’re looking for, Opera doesn’t disappoint. With customizable features, like blocking redirects and third-party sites, the Opera browser packs a punch. Opera puts the control in your hands and lets you design the experience to what you like best. You can delete cookies one at a time or delete them all in one swoop. Opera even allows you to see specifics about each cookie that collects data. Here you can make changes to your cookies settings and block any cookies you don’t want.Click on Cookies and other site data under Privacy and security.(That’s the gear icon on the left of your browser window.)
When you want to make changes, remember to follow these steps: Opera has lots of options but makes it easy to control the settings. You can mix it up and customize things to your desired settings. When you want to manage your Opera cookies, it’s easy to go to the settings page and tailor cookies to your liking. Bottom lineĮven though Opera has been around for over 25 years, many users are new to the experience. The Opera legal notice also states that the company never sells user data to anyone. While it has different features than the regular Opera browser, it has the same privacy features and risks.Īccording to the Opera forums, it must follow Norwegian privacy laws (the Opera headquarters are located there) and cannot sell your data unless the company lets you know.
