Am getting the all ads(but skipable) on brave too

I found I could visaully block the pop up and use keyboard controls to still play a video. It did break navigating the page though because while I couldn't see it popup it was still there.

Just use newpipe or freetube

Do you need to be signed in to Youtube to get this?

People are going to throw a brick at me, but I’m using brave and have never seen this.

what idiots watch Youtube whilst being logged in?

My buddy reported that he started getting blocked using uBlock starting today.

I've never had any of the problems, but I have some caveats that may be helpful:

1. I live in Korea
2. I use brave browser with no uBlock as it's unnecessary
3. I also use NextDNS at the router level.

#3 seems to be of no consequence as I tried using vanilla Chrome and ads played while randomly testing videos

That leads me to believe #2 or #1 is preventing ads.

I didn't disable NextDNS since it failed at #3, and I haven't tried VPNing into a U.S. endpoint out of laziness.

Either #1, or #2 is preventing ads ... I'm inclined to believe it is #2, Brave browser, that is successfully blocking ads; even without VPN, with NextDNS, I was still getting ads in vanilla Chrome.

I think there is something in Brave browser that is currently overlooked.

I hope it helps someone

Brave luckily do not have those problems. Edit: to be more precise, yesterday this appeared, and then recordings stopped, but only with a refreshing returned to normal, today this did not appear and the recordings work normaly.

Happened to me a the other day, so i used piped instead, yesterday my muscle memory got me back to YouTube and everything was back to normal
