Thanks for the reply.
X say: “Go to brave://components and click “Check for update” under “Brave Ad Block Updater.” The issue should be resolved with 1.0.4151 or later.”

My Brave Ad Block Updater version is 1.0.4156 and its still not blocking adds.
Thank you

I installed the nightly build 1.65.21 directly from the releases page at GitHub and it blocks the adds on Ubuntu 20.04.
