- You could try clearing the cache for samsung internet by going to device settings > apps > Samsung internet > storage > clear cache.
- Make sure you have the proper permissions enabled for samsung internet including Javascript. To enable Javascript > Open Samsung Internet > Tap the Tools menu > then Settings > Go to Sites and downloads > select Site permissions > Ensure JavaScript is enabled.

Is this on multiple web sites like YouTube, Netflix or is it only affecting one site?
What do you see in the place of the video on youtube?

If clearing cache and restarting the device didn't work you might need clear the app data to reset the app to like new.

If that doesn't work settings>apps>samsung internet>more options(3 dots top right)>uninstall updates. Then go into the store and reinstall the latest update.

After that you would need to consider factory resetting your device or using another browser.

I am trying to use YouTube with Samsung ad blocker functionality, so I don't need to skip during videos, but looks like this feature has been taken off by Samsung.

Just checked with another friend he is seeing same thing with Samsung Internet browser.

Any other suggestions on browsers

I believe this feature has been removed by Samsung quietly just like their phones going backward!!

Just tested opera and it does work. You have to set the video to full screen before going to the home page for pop up view to work. And ad blocking was enabled by default and works for the website your trying to access.

The only workaround I found is to change from mobile site to desktop site option.
