The above tweet solved this issue for a few hours, but now solution does not work and it is occurring again.
No ads blocked, anywhere.
Component Brave Ad Block Updater - Version: 1.0.551
Brave - Version: 1.7.98 - Chromium: 81.0.4044.113 (Official Build) (64-bit)
MacOS.
EDIT: Seems to work for about an hour each time until ads show up again until another browser restart. Not solved. Not fixed.
Brave Local Data Updater - Version: 1.0.22
Status - Component not updated
Not working Still can see ads on Youtube and other websites.
Restart and tried still same. any other solutions or just have to wait for the fix
Edit : Canāt see ads. I guess itās fixed
I have observed the same behavior today.
Browser version: Version 1.7.98 Chromium: 81.0.4044.113 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Windows 10 OS
Yeah, got the same problem on my laptop and I canāt freaking skip YouTube adds
Fixed I believe, no ads on Zero Hedge using Brave anymore.
A few days ago youtube started showing banner ads on top of the home page. Now it displays ads in videos. I have to use uBlock Origins to block youtube ads. Please fix this as it makes Brave just as any other browser now.
Yep Ad block aint working here either.
Ad Blocker is up to date and still getting ads everywhere.
Well, did the Twitter fix and relaunched though it said component not updated, which I take to mean itās actually up to date. Iām too paranoid to turn off Adblock Plus just yet. But I see that now, ABP says itās blocking nothing, while thereās a changing number next to the Brave shields icon again, saying that things are being blocked. (During the error it just kept saying one thing was blocked, even on sites with lots of ads.)
(Twitter never let me verify my account so I canāt respond there. I have yet to see ads on the Android version *knock on wood* so I havenāt tried updating that yet.)
Soā¦it SEEMS to be workingā¦though Iām going to knock on wood and be wary for a bit since a few users say itās still not working for them. 
Hi @murkeedyaz
So you are using the same Brave version 1.7.98 Chromium: 81.0.4044.113 (Official Build) (64-bit) as @tehuti88 and ads ARE being blocked for you when they are NOT blocked for
?
Iām doing some investigating to see what I may encounter when installing a new version of Brave on windows 7 desktop.
I will not be able put up with any extra google interference. 
Twitter bot decided I was a bot when I tried to sign up, so blocked account there.
I am still on the old version of Brave so until I reinstall with the new version I will not be able to ascertain if this glitch is happening on my desktop windows7 set up.
Android appears to be ok, but agreed :

Hey all, for folks that still seeing ads,
Can you try again with the steps linked in my previous reply? You may need to click Update more than once. Just to make sure itās updated to 1.0.552. And restart the browser.
Hi, tried the about:components updating but am already on 1.0.554 (āup to dateā) with the issue persisting.
This is happening again now. Ads on YouTube specifically.
Brave Ad Block Updater Version: 1.0.555
It started on youtube, which is like the basic where you should have ad blocker
Hey there,
This issue is occurring again.
Ads showing up on YouTube.
Version 1.8.96 Chromium: 81.0.4044.138 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Brave Ad Block Updater - Version: 1.0.576
I am fine because I do brave + dns hard core blocking for youtube / filtering everything for ads, I donāt see anything. I run about 30 braves browsers from work, home, 2 extra computers and donāt see anything wrong yet. I use all 4 of the braveās Main, Beta, Dev, Nightly. All fine for me
Are you saying you have a unique / non-standard setup? If you do DNS blocking your situation would be different to a majorityā¦
Lists like these anyone can do itā¦
Brave helps out with the java script and the other stuff I canāt block. If you go and put this inside of brave browser you can see the codeā¦ Itās really BADā¦ Its safe, your not running it tho.
