Youtube detecting Brave's ad blocker since today

I’m new here guys, so sorry if I miss any information or post in the wrong place.

Since today, youtube started detecting the ad blocker of my brave browser. The following message appears wehen ever I try to watch any video:

"Ad blockers violate YouTube’s Terms of Service

  • It looks like you may be using an ad blocker. Video playback is blocked unless YouTube is allowlisted or the ad blocker is disabled.
  • Ads allow YouTube to be used by billions worldwide.
  • You can go ad-free with YouTube Premium, and creators can still get paid from your subscription."

I got 3 more videos to watch, and then this appeared. I have updated the broswer and tried looking for any other people having the same problems in reddit, but I could not find many with the same problem. What can I additnionally do to try to fix this? I don’t want to switch broswer!!

Thanks in advance for any tip and/or help!

Cheers

Can you update the lists in brave://settings/shields/filters then refresh YT?

I already tried that and nothing really happened… Any other ideas? Thanks!

I’m using the latest version of brave…what do we do now?

Which extensions are you using?

windscribe vpn, awesome screenshot, dark reader and volume master

7

unless the VPN has its own adblocking/firewall blocking?

Maybe try Brave in a clean profile with no extensions? Not seeing any issues here with default shields

thanks guys

No updates to shields or filters. We haven’t had any issues, but occasionally someone has a Youtube issues mostly fixed with a “ensure shields is up, clear cookies/cache, relogin”
