I have noticed that browsing Youtube using Brave on my laptop no longer blocks ads which really ticks me off.
Oddly, browsing Youtube on my Android phone while using Brave still blocks ads. Go figure?
That may be YT that is working around the ad-blocking. They've indicated in recent months that they would find a way to sidestep ad-blocking, even with browsers with built-in ad-blocking capability. Brave may or may not be able to adjust in future releases.
That’s odd. My laptop running brave still blocks ads on yt, but my android phone plays them.
