Ads flashing for a second before being blocked
Ads flashing for a second before being blocked
Opera's adblock extension seems to load ads first and then blocks them. Whereas on Firefox's adblock addon, it blocks them before they load. It's not on all websites, but I've noticed it on a couple.
Re: Ads flashing for a second before being blocked
provide example page, explain how to reproduce the issue
Re: Ads flashing for a second before being blocked
finance.yahoo.com (Botton right panel appears then disappears)
Re: Ads flashing for a second before being blocked
The page is one of infinite scrolling type, so I cannot understand how to (quickly) see that panel at the bottom page.

Here I've posted screenshots of what's happening on that site in the span of like 1.5 seconds. You might be able to see it too by zooming out with Ctrl + "-" on opera.

This doesn't occur in Firefox + Adblock by the way. I just tested it.

Re: Ads flashing for a second before being blocked
No, I cannot reproduce your issue.
You could try clearing cookies / cache, disable all other extensions, keep only ABP and test again.
I tested using only easylist list in ABP.

I cleared my cache and retested it. Adblock is my only extension on Opera. Same results.

Re: Ads flashing for a second before being blocked
Just to be sure: are you using ABP or AB ?
Re: Ads flashing for a second before being blocked
Opera 42.0
Adblock Plus Version 1.12.4
Adblock Plus Version 1.12.4
Re: Ads flashing for a second before being blocked
yeah, I used the same versions of opera and ABP.
Last try: does it happen on every refresh of the page or ... only on the opera start (with that page as start page) ?

Every refresh
Re: Ads flashing for a second before being blocked
well, I managed to reproduce the "issue".
Probably in your ABP are enabled the acceptable ads (see options, "Allow some non-intrusive advertising"). Try disabling it.

Re: Ads flashing for a second before being blocked
Okay, I changed it, restarted opera and tested it.
Still the same.

Re: Ads flashing for a second before being blocked
it could be something interfering with your browser / extensions, such as an antivirus plugin in opera
it happens for me only in enabling the acceptable ads (which means another list possibly slowing down ABP on heavy pages)

Re: Ads flashing for a second before being blocked
Like I said, I don't any other extensions on Opera and I don't have anti-virus plugins either.
I don't get this issue with Firefox, so I figure it must be something different about the opera version of ABP.
