Description of the issue:
At times, YouTube adverts come in. I often listen to songs one after another, and at times, there are adverts playing in between songs. Not sure, never happened earlier.
Exact URL of the website in question:
Screenshot of the ad as it appears in Brave Did the issue present with default Shields settings? (yes/no)
Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off?
Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no):
Does the site work as expected when using Chrome?
Brave version (check About Brave):
1.24.85 Chromium: 90.0.4430.212 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Tbh, I don’t think this issue is reproducible always, occasionally a series of ads slip in. I found a way to prevent them by turning off shields and turning them on again. Looks like the folks at YouTube is deliberately messing around with adblockers. I’ve noticed the same when using other adblocker extensions as well - on other browsers like Firefox.
I also noticed just in the last week that ads were coming in.
I switched my shield from standard to aggressive.
That seem to have worked, but I don’t know if that is the solution as I don’t know what problems will this cause.
@NotThatSmart,
It’s not likely to cause any issues for Youtube – some sites will not like it when using Aggressive but it depends on the site. I myself have Aggressive in Shields settings for Youtube and haven’t had any issues so far.
