On my Desktop, Brave is counting down the last 3 videos I'm allowed to watch with ads blocked.

I hope Brave can give me the option to make Google think I'm watching the ad by downloading the ad but somehow not showing it to me.

Or, failing that, show it but auto-mute the audio during the ad (I spent lots of time on Youtube listening to my playlist).

I just tried Brave on the desktop with a few videos and didn't see any pop-ups, seems business as normal to me. Are you running an up to date version?
