Is there much difference between Opera's (GX) built in adblocker and uBlock Origin?

[QUOTE="CyberDevil, post: 939551, member: 91290"] I haven't used classic Opera for a long time, but I don't think that they would make two different adblockers, most likely Opera and Opera GX work the same way. Just add here opera://settings/?search=DNS some secure DNS like AdGuard or controld.com (or NextDNS if you need more control and options), after that you can add in Opera adblocker this lists: [URL]https://filters.adtidy.org/extension/chromium/filters/2.txt[/URL] - AdGuard Base filter [URL]https://filters.adtidy.org/extension/chromium/filters/3.txt[/URL] - AdGuard Tracking Protection filter I think that this is enough and there is no need to install a separate extension, like ublock, specifically in Opera. As I understand it, NextDNS will block the CNAME tracker based on the match of IP addresses in DNS records (maybe I'm wrong), which gives a larger coverage area than just a list of known CNAME trackers made manually for some list, so it can achieve not 70%, but maybe 90% of the blocks.
