Description of the issue:
At the end of YouTube videos, there are annoying pop-up cards/boxes with suggestions of what to watch next. They cover the end of the video I am trying to watch, ruining the end of the videos by covering the content. I read a Brave post saying that I can right click anywhere on the page, choose “Block Element”, select one of these boxes and then click on “Create”, which should create a rule that blocks them.
This does NOT work. I still get these annoying pop-up boxes, even after blocking several examples. I saw a video on YouTube entitled: Block Annoying New Overlay at End of YouTube Videos by Jared Stevens, wherein he fixes this in the same way using something called “Ad Block Plus” on his Apple computer (I use PC), so I know this is supposed to work, but it’s currently broken in Brave.
Exact URL of the website in question:
Most YouTube videos. Here is a URL of Jared Stevens’ video:
