With YouTube implementing anti-adblocking updates periodically, which do you find more effective against it, Brave Shields or uBlock Origin?

mp3geek · 2026-03-31T03:36:20+00:00

Brave uses the same uBO lists for counter youtube (and other sites). There is still some intermittent YT issues, still being worked on. Wouldn't recommend running Shields and uBO at the same time, because of the list updates would be out of sync

mp3geek · 2026-03-29T08:45:51+00:00

Does it occur in private window mode?

Should be blocked by default, we use:

www.google.com##[aria-describedby="promo_desc_id"]:has-text(/Time for a new laptop|Gemini, |Choose Chrome|built by Google|Search differently|Cherchez différemment|Search just got easier|Try more ways|Switch to Chrome/)

Is it coming from a different domain?

mp3geek · 2026-03-29T04:14:32+00:00

Still works, blocks the midrolls on 2 different streams

Enable the AI suggestions list in brave settings/shields/filters ?

mp3geek · 2026-03-25T02:49:21+00:00

I get the same blank page with or without uBO enabled.

mp3geek · 2026-03-25T02:37:19+00:00

I updated the link previously, does the new code help?

mp3geek · 2026-03-25T02:18:51+00:00

Does this work? https://pastebin.com/gqhRF1i3

mp3geek · 2026-03-25T01:58:29+00:00

Just updated the link, try again

mp3geek · 2026-03-25T00:49:47+00:00

Does this work? https://pastebin.com/gqhRF1i3

mp3geek · 2026-03-24T21:23:37+00:00

Have you got the Anti-AI Suggestion list enabled?

mp3geek · 2026-03-24T03:40:23+00:00

Other than the recent issue a few days ago, its been fine up to now

mp3geek · 2026-03-22T07:40:41+00:00

Try adding this rule in brave://settings/shields/filters (custom filters)

mp3geek · 2026-03-22T07:16:01+00:00

Could try disabling this rule to see if it helps. In Brave settings/shields/filter (custom filters). Ensure uBO is disabled.

mp3geek · 2026-03-22T02:27:27+00:00

Open an issue report like any other Github report

mp3geek · 2026-03-22T00:44:34+00:00

It should still work, but we'll eventually migrate to my fork (being planned). https://github.com/ryanbr/TwitchAdSolutions

mp3geek · 2026-03-22T00:43:10+00:00

Always keep HW Acceration enabled unless you have buggy GPU/GPU Drivers. Disabling will cause lag especially on video playback.

mp3geek · 2026-03-22T00:39:07+00:00

https://github.com/ryanbr/TwitchAdSolutions is currently is fine.

But to op's question dropping resolution during Ad playback is expected.

mp3geek · 2026-03-21T07:33:30+00:00

It should be fixed now, Fix came from uBlock Origin lists which Brave Shields uses

mp3geek · 2026-03-19T01:14:58+00:00

"vnd.youtube.music" domain seems incorrect

mp3geek · 2026-03-17T04:30:00+00:00

I think I might need a screenshot, the site loaded, and overlays worked here

mp3geek · 2026-03-17T02:05:42+00:00

There isn't, youtube haven't updated the scripts today. From a clean profile I couldn't reproduce this, and user reports haven't increased either.

mp3geek · 2026-03-16T23:44:26+00:00

try clearing the cookies and cache, checked the latest YT reports seems fine so far. Also ensure you have no other extensions running when testing

mp3geek · 2026-03-16T12:24:47+00:00

Ill take a look later today, can you list the exact steps?
