Yesterday I started getting ads on Youtube when using Brave. I didn’t change any setting. I have tried clearing my cookies, resetting all settings back to default settings and downloading the latest Brave browser but none of these things have fixed the problem.
I use the MacOS Mojave 10.14.6 operating system and Brave browser version 1.1.23.
Are you using a VPN? (no)
**Are you in a supported region (see here for list of supported regions)? yes
Check brave://components/, Brave Ad Block Updater - Version: 1.0.941
Clear cookies and clear data for youtube
And retest, relogin into youtube (because the cookies were cleared)
I rolled out some fixes into Version: 1.0.941 to help with youtube.
Maybe something about that old profile. Maybe try brave://settings/clearBrowserData specificallt Cookies, Cache. Note, any sites you have logins, it will ask for user/password details
Not long after I was using the new profiles with no adverts the adverts came back. Now Brave Beta is the only way I can play youtube without adverts.
Not sure why they changed to having adverts.
