uBlock Origin can perhaps help.

And some fine-tuning all the time.

Another vote here. I had a glitch recently where I saw a few ads.

Guess the Brave team patched it. thumbup No issues since.

It's linked to your account, so if you log out of an account you can see videos without ads, but if you are logged in the videos are blocked. (using Adblock or uBlock Origin anyway).

Yes, it appears uBlock Origin have updated their software to fix it. A few weeks ago all adblockers were struggling with it and logging out of the account was the best way.

I had a big black square a moment ago when I tried to watch a video on YouTube, with "Ad blockers are not allowed on YouTube" written inside it, as well as options to pay or continue with ads. Anyway, I copied the URL from the address bar in the tab and literally pasted it into the same address bar and hit return. Video loaded and played. No ads and no pop up.

Check your Adblocker add-in is still there, on my browser, I started seeing them and noticed the add-in had vanished. Reinstalled and now OK. Adblock+.

Click on the 'X' at top right and it will go away.

I use Brave Browser which certainly blocks the ads.

Is there any way of stopping the 'video paused continue watching ' interruption?

Not on brave but i had to use an add-in/ extension to stop that highly irritating issue.
