Hello @DwellerOfThePast

Thank you for reaching out and we’re happy to assist you. If you are still seeing ads you can enable these filters Fanboy Annoyances List and uBlock Annoyances List to block most ads and trackers on the web. To select them click on this link: brave://settings/shields/filters

Then on filters list, search and check on the boxes corresponding to the ones mentioned previously.

Let us know if that helps!

Ads are sill there even with the lists. I guess it is because they are placed like content posts. I guess there is not much that can be done.
