Brave stopped blocking ads

Browser Support Ad-Blocking
4

@Thozen seems you tried some of these, but I’m going to list few things below if you want to give it another go. Some of it is new as well.

  1. Choose to Run as Administrator when you go to open Brave. (have had someone say this resolved before)

  2. Try new profile and see if it updates there.

  3. Download from brave.com/download again

  4. Restart your device. (assuming you’ve done this since you said been an issue for a couple days, but listing just in case)

  5. Can you check to see if anything can update at brave://components

  6. Check any firewall or anything which might be blocking it.

Honestly, if none of those work, I’m almost tempted to tell you to uninstall and choose to remove everything. Then install again. You’d be starting off with a new browser and none of your data, so you’d want to export things to save.

But at least hope you can check on the simple 6 there, maybe trying again for the things you already attempted once…just in case.
