Dailymotion can be a great video platform, but sometimes it can be frustrating. One common issue is the constant nagging about ad blockers—even when you’ve turned them off!
Many users experience this problem, especially when using browsers with built-in protection like Brave. If you’re stuck in this loop, don’t worry! We’ll help you fix it.

Why Does This Happen?
There are a few reasons why Dailymotion might still think you’re using an ad blocker:
- Your browser has built-in tracking protection.
- Other extensions or plugins might be blocking ads.
- Dailymotion’s detection system isn’t perfect.
Even if you disable your ad blocker, these hidden protections might still trigger Dailymotion’s complaint.
How to Fix the Issue
Here are a few things you can try to stop the annoying pop-up.
1. Disable Shields in Brave
If you’re using Brave, the “Shields” feature blocks tracking elements by default. To disable it:
- Go to Dailymotion’s website.
- Click the Brave icon in the address bar.
- Switch off “Shields” for the site.
After doing this, refresh the page and see if the problem is gone.
2. Disable Other Extensions
Sometimes, other extensions interfere with ads. Here’s how to check:
- Go to your browser’s extensions page.
- Look for any ad-blocking or privacy-related extensions.
- Temporarily disable them and refresh Dailymotion.
If the pop-up disappears, one of these extensions is the culprit.
3. Try Another Browser
Still having trouble? Try using Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. If the problem disappears, your usual browser might have some hidden settings causing the issue.
4. Clear Cache and Cookies
Old cache or cookies might trick Dailymotion into thinking you still have an ad blocker.
- Open your browser settings.
- Find the option to clear browsing data.
- Select “Cookies” and “Cache” and clear them.
- Restart the browser.
5. Use Dailymotion in Incognito Mode
Open Dailymotion in a private or incognito window. This disables most extensions automatically. If it works, then an extension is likely causing the problem.
6. Turn Off Tracking Protection
Some browsers have built-in tracking protection. You may need to adjust this in settings:
- For Firefox: Go to Privacy & Security and disable Enhanced Tracking Protection for Dailymotion.
- For Edge: Disable Tracking Prevention under Privacy settings.
Final Thoughts
Dailymotion’s ad blocker detection can be a bit too aggressive. Even when you turn off your ad blocker, other browser features can still trigger the warning.
Try the solutions above, and one of them should work! If all else fails, using a different browser or device might be the easiest fix. Happy watching!
