Youtube is now displaying "Ad blockers violate YouTube's terms and services"

Browser Support Ad-Blocking

I’ve made two brave profiles now. When I open youtube on my personal account it now says “Ad blockers violate YouTube’s terms and services” and on my 2nd account but thankfully my 3rd one still hasn’t had this pop up yet. Please fix I do not want to keep making more profiles. And yes I logged into YouTube

I am on Brave 1.89.132

Screenshot of the ad as it appears in Brave:

Please edit your Original Post above, in order to include:

  • Brave Browser version numbers
  • Operating System version numbers

And mention whether or not you are logged in at YouTube?

Using a Brave Browser New Window for all the following …

Go to: brave://components and click Check for update for all components. Make sure that ALL of the components are updated.

Next, go to brave://settings/content/all. Search for each of the following names:

  • google
  • googleapis
  • gstatic
  • youtube

… and for each, delete all cookies. NOTE: Toggle any v -type downward arrow tip (over on the right, near the trash can icons), in order to reveal an expanded list of related/sub-domains.

Exit / Quit everything, and Restart the computer.

Sometimes, a portion of a YouTube video webpage will not perform as expected. I use a VPN and change the VPN server - and usually that works on the 1st VPN server change attempt.

Occasionally, some Brave Browser users discover that an extension is the source of the problem.

Extensions Tests:
  • test by disabling all extensions
  • test by enabling each extension individually
  • test by uninstalling all extensions
  • test by installing each extension individually
  • test combinations of extensions
  • test order of installation of extensions

Occasionally, you may need to clear cache, cookies - for Time range > All time, using the Basic tab at brave://settings/clearBrowserData.
