Youtube Videos abruptly stopping for Ads, which shouldn't happen

Browser Support
1

Following the most recent update (v1.66.110), a problem has just begun to recur when watching a YouTube video. The video abruptly stops, the thumbnail appears, loads for a short while, and then the screen goes blank for 15-20 seconds before the video resumes where it left off. :cry:
Fortunately, I was able to confirm this time that it’s the YouTube advertisements that have been appearing. I’ve included a screenshot of it here.

So i got the recording for both Brave Browser as well as for Beta Browser. But i am not able to attach the video, so i’ll just put in the screenshot.

Just did some testing to view intro ads;

  • MacOS M2 - Brave Beta 1.67.92
  • Graphics Acceleration enabled
  • No extensions
  • Clean build/profile

The ads are not coming on livestreams or starting of videos, but in middle of some long videos!!

Not yet, still testing and discussing options with list authors. Nothing reliable so far
