@AkiraSanchez generally is helpful if you can provide more details. Such as which version of Brave you’re using, which specific OS you’re using (Like Windows 10 vs Windows 11), if the issue happens in private window as well, etc.

Also a reminder that:

  • This happens often as YouTube tries overriding adblockers. And usually it gets fixed right along.

What you should do when encountering this are:

  1. Make sure your Shields settings are still good. Check globally and in site specific (the lion icon)

  2. Make sure your browser is on the most recent version.

  3. Go to brave://components and/or brave://settings/shields/filters and update everything. In the components you’ll have to attempt update individually. In the content filter area, hit Update Lists.

  4. If the above is done but still has issues, test in a private window. If the issue doesn’t happen there, then it’s either cookies or an extension. Most likely just have to clear all Google and YouTube cookies (site data) from your browser.

  5. If clearing all Google and YouTube cookies and site data doesn’t resolve, take a look at what extensions you’re using and try disabling. If any of them have adblocking capabilities, you should make sure they aren’t in use.

SIDE NOTE
If you don’t have them enabled, you may want to use Fanboy’s Annoyances + uBO Annoyances filter, which you can do in settings → shields → content filtering

Also set tracker and ads blocking to aggressive by default.
