Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The ad blocker isn’t working anymore. I’m trying to watch 9anime on Opera with the ad blocker on but I keep getting ads when I press on things. It used to be fine but now it’s not. Please fix.

I love being able to watch my shows without ads popping up, it’s really relaxing, and the fact that it works on almost every ad is so amazing. The one thing I will say; the search bar will automatically pop up (for me) when I open the app, I don’t mind it, but after a while it gets tiring when I can just click on the YouTube icon without having to type in YouTube on the search bar or clicking out of the search bar to do that. Since there are icons you can click on to just go to the website, it would be nice to open the app without the search bar showing up as soon as you get in.
lospierr
Don’t get me wrong it’s a great app like the ad blocker is really good and sure it might let some ads through but it’s fine when you have a fast working browser. All I’m curious about is that the VPN doesn’t turn on at all even when in my settings I try to manually turn on the VPN it chooses that it doesn’t want to turn on so if the team at Opera could release a patch that would fix the VPN it would be great.
