Hahahahahaha not even you guys disable ad-blockers. Don't you want to support independent journalism?

Well. Opera (as a company) let me down after 12.17. People, who worked for Opera, who made Vivaldi, the spiritual successor to opera, have not. Vivaldi for the win.

It wouldn't be fair to load and maybe even click on the ads on NBC ourselves, don't you think? Not to mention that Opera is not the browser I use for publishing stuff on NBC, so...
@Kalev7309: I felt completely left in the dust after 12.17 as well. They removed a lot of awesome stuff and came back with... nothing. There weren't even bookmarks in the "new" Opera if I recall well. However, they got back on track after a few years. I use Vivaldi for publishing stuff on NBC, but sometimes it crashes or freezes without any obvious reason. If I wouldn't be an adventurous user, I would go to Chrome or even Edge.

So, you expect me to believe that you have an Adblocker installed just to block ads on NBC? That you disable it to support other "independent journalism" sites?

Not sure why you think you proved your point here. You have an adblocker installed, presumably to block ads all around the Internet. Meanwhile you ask users to disable adblockers on *your* site, because "independent journalism". The fact that you don't seem to see the hipocrisy on that is astounding.

You don't have to believe that I have an adblocker installed just to block ads on NBC - Opera has one built-in, by the way. The truth - believe it or not - is that I do not use Opera to check out any website that involves reading news or other articles supported by ads. I mainly use Maxthon for that goal, and on that one I block ads on some websites and allow them to load on others.

I hope now you got the whole point. I simply did not get into it deep enough. I publish on NBC, so it's logical to take a screenshot with NBC loaded in the browser, right? In the end, the discussion should be about Opera, not about when, how, and why I am blocking ads. P.S. I sometimes pay for journalism that I deem to be worthy of it. Do you support at least one news website/journal that is only available to subscribers? Would you rather have NBC — and other websites that use ads and display that support message when ad blocking is detected — go ad-free and only available for a monthly fee of ... let's say, 2 USD?

Hi DanReyLop, I'm replying as one of the editors here in regards to the "you guys" line.

I intentionally avoid using adblockers. Advertising revenue has an impact on my income and I would like people reading my content to support me by not using an adblocker. Therefore, I also support others by not using an adblocker while browsing their content.
