Bug: Opera Next 20 - Youtube ads

Post by PabloMyslibar »

Running Opera Next 20.0.1387.30 with Adblock Plus.

Even with "Allow some non-intrusive advertising" unchecked, ads are still showing in Youtube videos (the pop-ups during streaming).

I have also encountered problems on Twitch.

Filter: EasyList.

(you can download chrome portable, install it in some desktop folder in order to get the pepperflash folder)

Thank you for answering!

This is a bit tedious solution, however. Do you think there will be a general solution implemented into ABP in the near future?

unfortunately there are not workarounds for this ==> the chromium guys must fix it (but probably will be for ...version 34 of chromium)

Do you know where I should place pepflashplayer.dll ? I cannot find the Chromium folder they are referring to in http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=342346

you can place it wherever you want, for example in c:\pepper\ folder ==> after that you'll indicate the folder using
--ppapi-flash-path=C:\Pepper\pepflashplayer.dll

When I try:

--ppapi-flash-path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera Next\PepperFlash\pepflashplayer.dll"

... in cmd (run as administrator), it says (freely translated from Danish) "--ppapi-flash-path' was not recognized as an intern nor extern command, a program or a batch file".

Hmm... Can't make it work that way.

did you add those parameters on the opera shortcut ?
like

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera Next\launcher.exe --ppapi-flash-path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera Next\PepperFlash\pepflashplayer.dll"

I think it works now. What I have in the Opera Shortcut:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera Next\launcher.exe" --ppapi-flash-path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera Next\PepperFlash\pepflashplayer.dll" --ppapi-flash-version=12.0.0.69
