starting today i started getting ads on youtube which is quite disconcerting as i only use this browser to bypass youtube ads
There are a few suggestions here -
go to history
then clear all browsing data
then click āadvancedā
then select every single box that it allows you to unless you want to keep passwords and fill in data you choose what you want to keep but most importantly clikc the
" browsing history"
the " download history"
the ācache image filesā
the " cookies and other site data"
the " site and shiled settings"
and the āhosted app dataā
before deleteing go up to " time range " and select āall timeā
i did these steps and now my youtube is back to normal.
That did nothing for me
@auron4545 @Grouch can you try Why do ads keep playing on youtube !?
Its upto date and I think the update is causing the problem, it is not only youtube showing ads, but all pages started showing ads. For Youtube I downloaded a special youtube ad blockerā¦ I really hope they can fix this.
@Grouch your Brave Ad Block Updater updated to v1.0.552? And you still see ads?
I see ads since the update to 1.0.552 man.
Sample video? and which geo location? Can you try a new profile / or test in Brave Beta
The same happened for me since last update i cant see the skip button on any youtube videoā¦
i also installed brave beta, and have the same issue, delete all cache and cookies this is anoying because i have shields down on youtube,
At the end i have to open youtube on chrome because on brave i dont have the skip button,
Happens to me too, nothing works to fix it 
I have to use chrome for YouTube
Sorry for the delay, weāre landing a fix in Nightly soon.
Outline: We had hard-coded cosmetic filtering, which is causing the issue.
Fixes: Now that cosmetic filtering is landing, Iāve got a PR: https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/4916 to remove these. It shouldāve landed sooner, but its now coming to Nightly.
I have no idea how to do this man, Iāam no coder or programmer.
I got a added problem aswell, youtube isnāt refreshing videoās anymore nor does it show the red bar on bottom where I can check if I allready seen a video or notā¦ The problems keep piling up guys, I have no idea what the last update has done.
Youtube should be operating fine here. Maybe clear the cookies and cache, and re-login to youtube? Also testing via a VPN might help.
Tried it all, and Iāam not paying for a VPN to skip ads, there are plugins that take care of that for me. The browser apparantly has some fault in it since Iāam not the only one complaining. I canāt delete code, because Iāam too much of a noob for that.
Iāll just go check out firefox instead, since this is going nowhere. Maybe with the next update stuff is oke again.
I just started using Brave today and ran into the same issue - on a fresh, up-to-date install of the browser. I could not figure out the reason or come up with any solutions.
However, even though it didnāt work for juanjosezg, the beta version of the browser seems to be working well for me. Just wanted to put it out there that this can be a fix for some people.
Iām getting this same problem, since about mid may i would say youtube ads are unskipable. Iāve cleared all the caches, updated brave, everything. and its still not letting me skip ads. With all the problems iāve had with brave iām seriously thinking of just removing the browser entirely
I am having the same exact problem as of 7/14/2020. Ads not being blocked on Youtube. Ads are not skip-able on YouTube. Is there an official that can get back to me about this problem?
Same problem here. Can no longer see the skip button, so I either have to refresh the page 4/5 times until ads stop showing up, or wait until 2 or 3 ads have played before getting to the content. This needs to be fixed ASAP - it has been a few months now.
@markbehiter are you still having issues with youtube?
@reason We rolled out fixes a few days ago,
Be sure youāre on Brave Version 1.11.104 Clear the cookies/cache for youtube, and then relogin. Disable all extensions as a test/try in private mode.
