As of October 5, 2024, Brave Shields appears to be not blocking Youtube ads on desktop for Windows. I have had to install other adblockers in order to block these ads, and it still doesn’t fully work. Is there any fix?
@JaceMNMan hard to say as you provided little to no details. Can you make sure to advise:
- Which version of Windows you’re using
- Which specific version of Brave you’re on.
- If you are able to do any updates at
brave://components
- If you’re having ads anywhere else of if it’s just on YouTube
- Does entering private/incognito window also have ads?
- Can you create a second “test” profile and see if you have issues there, making sure not to change settings or add extensions to the test profile?
