I tried with and without built in blocker, no effect, no possibility to create personnal list. I hate opera, too difficult to block ads.
use chrome (however I can see the ads only in firefox)
use the second filter for opera
(or be sure when copy the filter there are 2 spaces between

I confirm opera is worst browser I ever seen, but in chrome I had more difficult to block ads than Firefox, a reason to switch between chrome to opera but I regret now my choice. This is also a reason for opera isn't a first borwser used in the world.

I used this second filter but I use your two filters in same time, it's works. OPERA
There are another hidden ads "promoted by" I try use this filter for ubo on opera (for test)
Problem, it hide this ad but with all answers under questions.
PS: There are more viscious disguised ads with only "By", to make blocking filters more difficult to create , screenshot here: https://preview.ibb.co/iSTL9y/Viscious_ ... _quora.png

Quora has changed his strategy to annoy adblock users, I don't see any answers, blocked by this filters but I see An ad:
Screenshot (Tested on chrome, firefos and opera, with ubo and next with adblock plus) https://image.ibb.co/estDCT/QUORA_SUCKS.png
I think quora team see this forum, I hate to being forced to see his ads, very bad strategy and I love the strategy of DuckDuckGo serarh engine, for example, with a preference choice to see or not see his ads and permit to give a don (if you would).

@GamOfCatAndOfMouse This is a rare occurence where @intense 's filter is hiding the answers. Doesn't happen on any pages I browsed with answers.
adding shows the answers again.

@-Mark- Thanks you very much (and Intense, other helpful members and community) for your help.
Your filters not working with "has test" but working with: "-abp- contains":
I can get rid, for this moment, with also @Intense filters, against "Ad by" and "Promoted by" ads, but I don't get rid for ads with only "By" xyz
I tested this diy filter but all ads reaparred:

EDIT: All ads reaparred a few time after reloading, all filters not working.
That's an exception filter, use

Quora has started showing text based ads. Between the title and the first answer, there is an ad by DuckDuckgo.
Sample link:
Those ads seem to use randomized element names so normal hide element by name might not work. How to block it on all subpages of Quora?
