@Zatch

A) Do not sign in to the Google eco-system.
B) Use a Brave Browser Private Window
C) Clear Cookies; fully Exit/Quit BB; start BB
D) Allow all but 3rd Party Cookies.
E) Allow JavaScript for the site.

Find a YouTube page that is basic - simple, has an image that does not change, or only changes a few times, in the YouTube “video” window. Find a few of such pages.

F) Pick one of those simple pages for BB to go to. If that fails
G) Pick another.
H) Repeat steps F, G . . . patiently. You might Exit/Quit BB and try again.

In general, takes patience before YouTube becomes familiar with your computing device . . . and then YouTube finally stops resisting your efforts to simply view videos.

I have the benefit of a VPN connection, and I have to change that VPN connection (to different servers of the VPN service) - once, twice, maybe more on some days. But eventually, I can watch some YouTube videos.

Re the ads, I rely on what Brave team member @fanboynz can do. He knows well, “it is a running battle.”

Direct access to BB Settings > Site details for YouTube; for each, set JavaScript to Allow:

  • brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutube.com
  • brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com
  • brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com
  • brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fgooglevideo.com
  • brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fgstatic.com
  • brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogleapis.com
  • brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com
  • brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fmaps.google.com
  • brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fytimg.com

After making those BB settings, Exit/Quit BB completely, again. Then start and try, again to get YouTube going; be determined.

Again, I find that connecting and finally getting YouTube running, takes patience.

If you demand “You Click, You Get” ← then try another Internet browser. I use 5 different Internet browsers, for their relative strengths.

PS. I would not install any extension for ad-blocking ← again, relying upon @fanboynz .

PPS. Good luck, Sunday.

Anyone else seeing this Youtube issue?

In Brave 1.79.123 (the previous version), youtube started showing ‘No internet’ even when a very good internet connection was there. Sometimes, only the video loaded, but A LOT slowly. The comments and recommendations didn’t load. It was fixed in 1.79.126 though. Personally, I’ve never seen the ad blocker warning on youtube.
Wrote this just in case no one saw this.

i only use Brave ad block its more than sufficient.. I’ve never used any other block.. Thanks currently I’m running in Icog. tab its working fine for now but videos load very slowly even at a good internet. Somehow I’m managing. Will wait for an update from Brave..
Thank You
