Suddenly getting "Ad blockers are not allowed on YouTube"

Browser Support Ad-Blocking
206

I also tried switching to an account i don’t use as much, this works too, even in a normal browser.

Same problem here.

Can confirm the workaround. I switched to another account and bypassed the blocker. I can watch.

I will continue with this for a time, but would prefer to use my main.

209

I can’t “unban” my main account and it constantly says I can’t watch with adblocker, do you know any way to unblock account?

Seems like YT flagged accounts that were under suspicion of using AdBlocks

Ran into this issue just now, turning off shields loaded the video with no problem, and did not get an ad on this particular video.

212

Never mind, just no pre-roll ads, got some during.

@iakovos just a FYI, this suggests cookies. So you may not have removed everything you needed.

I actually had just experienced this message for the first time myself.

When I first saw the notice I made sure to update components and tried. Notice appeared again, so then went to clear cookies just for YouTube. When I returned, it didn’t take long for the notice to appear again.

I gave it a little time and then checked components again. Much to my surprise it did an update or two, even though had done it just like 10-20 minutes before. I then went to brave://settings/content/all and searched for Google and YouTube and then removed all cookies. When I returned, so far YouTube isn’t giving the notice.

Then to one up, I also just did the update to Brave 1.61. I have video playing this entire time and no issues. I’ll let you know if it comes back for me. Otherwise assuming everything has been resolved for now.
