Adblock Plus does not work firstly when open subpages

Adblock Plus for Opera 1.5.5, Opera 16.0.1196.73

When open a subpage from main page, Adblock Plus will not work in the first place, ads still pop up. After refresh the subpage, it started to work.

I guess it's a bug of Adblock Plus.

You mean when you open Opera and the website that opens automatically has unblocked ads?

I'm having a similar issue, but it mostly has to do with pages that open as pop ups.
For instance on this site http://live24.gr , radio stations open as pop-ups and all show ads when you first open them. Even if you middle click and open them inside a tab they still show ads. Refreshing the pop-up, or the tab removes the ads.

No. It's a page opened when I clicked the link of the main page.

To be more specific, the Adblock Plus failed to apply to left-clicked popup subpages. It do work with right-click then opened subpages.

Same problem for me. If I open a link (with feedly for example), adblock doesn't work on this page.

Let me get things more clear.

There's two ways to open an url link from main page with Opera or any other browsers: 1, left click the link; 2, right click the link then click 'Open Link in New Tab'.

What I've found the problem is, at least for some website, when opened link with method 1, abp may not be fully applied to the newly opened page, while with method 2, there's no problem at all.

I hope that will give some hints for the developers to find the potential bugs.

Also, I tried the other Adblock and found out that the same problem exists. Maybe it has something to do with Opera then?

Opera dose not responsible for ad block features. So I guess it's a problem of Adblock itself.

Hope developers can fix it ASAP.

Is this on the fix list, or should we just use Chrome?

Another example: http://www.ampparit.com

Left click any news link here and notice that no ads are blocked in newly opened tab.
Right click and "Open link in new tab": everything works as it should.

Maybe this has something to do with target=_blank?

Any news on this? Is it an Opera specific issue? The problem exists on 21 dev last time I checked.

if you are talking about ads on startup pages this is an old chromium issue (the extensions are initialized after loading the startup pages)

No... I'm talking about when you click certain link that open pop-ups, ads aren't blocked on them. Refreshing the pop-up blocks the ads. Chrome doesn't have this issue, I've tested it. Opera has this problem with both adblockers available (ABP and Adblock) that's why I'm guessing that it's an Opera specific issue. Apparently Opera does something in a different way than Chrome, in this case.

example url: live24.gr
just open a radio station. It opens in a pop-up window with ads, refreshing blocks them.

Same thing happened the other day when clicking the "watch on Youtube" button on an embedded video. The youtube page had ads, and needed a refresh to block them.

I can reproduce that. However it seems to be fixed with one of my patches, which is currently under review.
