Description of the issue:
when i try to watch videos on youtube , it shows i need to remove or disable my adblockers. I don’t have any extra adblockers. But i understand that the reason its showing that is because brave by default blocks all youtube ads. But youtube still ran fine up untill now. But youtube videos just refuse to play anymore. But yeah shorts still play. Also in the incognito tab the videos play just fine.
Can you both please try launching a guest profile window (Menu --> More tools —> Guest profile), visit youtube there and tell me whether or not ads display in Youtube there? Please ensure that you close your original profile window when testing, so that only the guest profile window is open.
in guest mode the videos play fine. I logged in to my google account there too and tried playing youtube videos and the videos played fine without ads or blocking just like it should be. Suddenly now the videos started playing like normal on my regular profile too which i had been having issues with video playing. Don’t know how this got solved😅. But Im happy it got solved.
Started seeing the same issue today, within the last 5-6 hours potentially as I was actually watching stuff without issue earlier (it’s currently about 6pm for me, and I was watching something about 12:30pm without problems).
Guest session seems to work fine which is pretty weird – I do have uBlock Origin installed in my main profile, but disabling that (both using its own control, and disabling the whole extension) makes no difference.
Only thing that worked so far for my main profile is disabling Brave’s shields entirely for YouTube, which of course is less than ideal!
