mode: complete / basic

You likely need to raise the default blocking mode to Optimal or Complete, some important filters cannot be enforced when using Basic as default mode.

Here is a picture I have tried to attach. I am using the complete version of uBlock

@Troyfmh He means complete or optimal mode by DEFAULT, not setting per-site, which is this setting inside uBOL:

The issue still seems to persist, after changing this setting, however the ad didn't play it just stayed unpaused but without progressing so the music just stopped and nothing would happen until i refreshed page.

Be sure you open the page in a new tab after you make changes to filter lists or filtering mode.

So, what is your issue now? Are the ads played or paused?

Like spotify is playing music, then the music will stop and an ad will "play" (as in, the next song is an ad as you can see in the screenshot) but it didn't automatically start playing the ad, it looks unpaused on inspection but the ad is not progressing in time, and no audio is heard from the ad, because no audio is heard at all. It just froze. The only way to fix and resume music playing is to refresh the site. The ad is played, and looks unpaused, but you don't hear it, and it doesn't progress, it's as if the website just crashes.

Can you open browser devtools -> Network tab -> Reproduce the issue and check which domains are blocked?
