I get a video ad at the beginning or the end of the video.
I didn't get any ads in between the video. Okay fine, this thing is occurring quite frequently. User reports - will add more to the thread as I come across them:
Is the issue reproducible on the latest version of Chrome? No. Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Shields? Yes. Users experiencing this issue report that this behavior is consistent for them. Visit YT and stream video content (I imagine this would be easiest to produce when streaming videos with a high view count - more likely to be monetized).Īds are displayed on page and in video. Would be good to know if there is any specific or pertinent information to collect from users that would help highlight what the issue is (cc - So far I've been collecting Brave version, OS info, and URLs to the videos where ads are displayed. User reports also show that this is not necessarily restricted by OS (although majority have been Windows) - Windows, macOs and Linux systems have reported this behavior.ĭiagnosing the issue is difficult given that I'm unable to reproduce this on my end when testing (using macOS and windows 7/10).
Image below depicting all three types displayed.
Ads that display/overlay the video itself ("inside" video).Ads displayed on the YT page itself (outside of video).Pre-roll ads that play before content streams.This seems to vary between but not be limited to: Seeing several reports recently about YouTube ads not being blocked.
