bug(YouTube/Hide ads): Close fullscreen ads does not work on some ads

Type

Error at runtime

Tools used

Bug description

Occasionally, fullscreen ads that appear when the app is opened will not be closed despite the Close fullscreen ads setting being enabled.

When the ad screenshotted above appeared, I noticed there was no toast saying that the ad has been closed. So it seems that it isn't detected. This particular ad may only be present in the USA.

Error logs

No response

Solution

No response

Additional context

Such ads rarely appear, so it is difficult to replicate or test. Let me know if you need more information or debug logs.

Device Environment

Android 14
OneUI 6.1
