YouTube "Something went wrong" monkey error message. And yes it's isolated to Brave and doesn't occur on any other browsers

Annoying as I’ve had to turn Brave off as my default browser just because of YouTube. Any ideas?

YouTube added a feature that it detects ad blockers and if you have them enabled, you can’t play a video. You can see more details in this topic.

A solution is to update components:

Have a great day!

Both of those are up to date now and that has done nothing to fix it.

Edit: Apparently it works now if I use a private tab. Just not on a standard one still.

Edit 2: Apparently it works on Beta and Nightly too. So must just be the standard version of Brave that’s affected rn.
