Youtube history not being save

Description of the issue: Brave on windows not saving youtube history if add block is enabled.

Steps to Reproduce: Turning on any add block from brave.

Reproduces how often: Always

Brave Version: Brave 1.92.143 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I have tried alot of available fixes in the site or google search.

  • Logging out/in from youtube.
  • Clearing history
  • turning off/on add block

If i turn off add block it will record the history normally. Lowering it to aggressive to normal blocking has same result. I don’t have any other add block extensions installed. Disabling all extensions doesn’t do anything also.

Update: I believe I have fixed the issue by removing a random website I added to my filter lists during testing. Although the website was not related to YouTube, it somehow caused the history to break. It is fixed now. Thank you.

Just to make sure I understand, you’re saying that if you have Shields enabled in Brave, Youtube doesn’t your watch history in https://www.youtube.com/feed/history?

Yes correct, it doesn’t record any watch video in youtube when the shield or any addblock enabled. i also tried uninstalling but still didn’t record any viewed videos.

It’s possible that you disabled this in your Google Account settings. Consider checking in your Google Account and see if YouTube Watch History is paused?

It was working 3 or 4 days ago i didn’t changed anything it just suddenly didn’t record the history and keeps recommending videos i already watched.
