I had the same issue as well. Tried to install the latest browser and the problem persisted.

My anecdotes are the same as above.

I too am using the latest version of Brave.
Also, just as confirmation, you did Subscribe to the Channel before trying to turn on the notifs right?

Investigating, seems to be unrelated to the other youtube issue (re: notification popup)

Does not work, because it is a different issue.

@hutchnd’s issue is the one the custom filter resolves. For some reason the custom filter doesn’t work all the time, refreshing YouTube a couple of times might be needed.

It is also impossible to change accounts, or to consult your dashboard on youtube.

Okay so for anyone here experiencing this, can you please provide the following information for me:

  • What OS and Brave version are you using?
  • If you go to youtube.com in a private window do you get the same results?
  • Did Shields up/down make a difference for you?
  • Do you have any extensions installed? If so, does disabling them make any difference?

I personally do not have see this issue on macOS, Windows, iOS or Android, so the more details/information we can get the better.

Win 10 64 Bit [
Version 1.28.105 Chromium: 92.0.4515.131 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Having Eversync, I dont care about cookies and Video DOwnload Helper installed as extensions, disabling makes no difference.

Also, Brave suddendly takes 3 Minutes until I can start it up in windows. No reaction when I click onto its icon. No other program is unresponsive. This is other wise a blazing fast machine.

With shields off, Youtube loads fine.

Considering going back to firefox, never ever had such issues.

We are talking about Brave Desktop

  1. I am using Windows 10 , and Brave Version is the Latest 11 August Update
  2. Yes sir it makes no difference , The problems still persist . Are you also talking about a tor window ?
  3. Yes Everything starts working Properly , but Turning off Brave Shields also allows Youtube ads which Which is veryyyyyyyy much annoying
  4. No sir the Problem Still Persists

Hope you Fix it Soon
