Ublock Origin and access to search results

Can Opera by default allow Ublock Origin access to search results? This would allow it to block ads in search results. At the moment it doesn't have access, I can't even click an ad to remove it.

I contacted Ublock and they say it has to be fixed on Opera's end.

@hucker The image says that the extension has access to search pages.

@hucker By the way, I checked here and had no problems enabling access tio search pages results and to private windows.

@leocg Because I ticked it after reporting a problem to Ublock. The trouble is they say Opera will not allow it to be ticked by default by the extension since Opera version 57. Yet other Chrome based browsers do.

@hucker Because Opera doesn't let any extension to have that access by default, so you always have to enable it after you have installed an extension.

@leocg Well other Chromium browsers do. Opera should at least ask the user when installing it! Not silently deny it!

@hucker Well, that's their policy and I don't think they will change it now.

@hucker It shouldn't be difficult to click a checkbox.

@hucker It's not a bug

@leocg It works in other browsers and not this one, therefore it is a bug in Opera. go argue with the makers of Ublock, which I shouldn't have to use if Opera actually blocked ads properly.

@hucker Or, like I said, it's just Opera's policy.

@leocg Ah, like MS's policy to deliberately remove things people find useful. Whenever the word policy is used, something bad happens and common sense flies out the window.
