I have been using brave for 1 year and I am starting to have problems with YT ads, I receive a text when I open a video that prevents me from seeing.
Description of the issue:
Additional Information:
It tells me that I am using a blocker when I have none installed or anything.
Also in (brave://components) I already have updated all the components and even so this text comes out.
I also run brave as an administrator and the problem persists.
According to the developers, this is not a good thing to do. It can sometimes put components or other folders into locked areas and make things not work as it should. Just as a small FYI.
Good, at least that’s one thing. But you probably will need to clear cookies as that’s one of the things YouTube is doing. So clear all Google and YouTube cookies…or even clear all cookies, for all time.
Other thing you didn’t mention, are you using extensions? If so, try to disable them. There are many types of extensions that interfere. Use as few as possible. And if any of them also are adblockers, don’t use. Ideally you should have only one adblocker. So if using Shields, don’t use uBlock Origin or others. If you prefer uBlock Origin, don’t use Shields.
Do keep in mind uBlock Origin and others have been noting that YouTube is starting to do account based crap. You can check https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1jbv1xn/youtube_ads_detection_breakages_2025_megathread/ for a lot of little details and see what the most recent info is.
