ERROR in components: Brave Ads Resources (IT)

Description of the issue:
Im using brave 1.40.107 on Windows10 x64 (italian).

In brave://components I have found this error:
Brave Ads Resources (IT) - Versione: 0.0.0.0
Stato - Errore di aggiornamento

How can I fix it?
Please note that I have another similar component, without the error:
Brave Ads Resources (it) - Versione: 1.0.41
Stato - Componente non aggiornato

How can this issue be reproduced?

Expected result:

Brave Version( check About Brave):

What happens when you click the Check for update button? Per Brave support staff member in an older topic try this:

Please post an update.

Edit: Found another, and probably more relevant, post from a Brave support staff member.

Relevant quote:

We only have country components for certain/specific countries. In all other countries, the component wouldn’t exist and it is expected to show Version 0.0.0.0

if I try to update I get an error:
Stato - Errore di aggiornamento
(translated into english is “Status - update error”)

@4354576 Is there any issue you are facing, is something wrong? Like Coco mentioned in his 2nd link, it’s normal (more detail is in there).

@Aman_M Hi :smiley:

Do you happen to know if there is a list somewhere of the specific countries where the component would not exist? I tried looking on Brave GitHub but couldn’t find anything. Might be there somewhere, I just couldn’t find! lol

Hi Coco. As far as I know, these Ad components exist in US only, Canada was to be included but I don’t know the progress. I saw somewhere on GitHub quite a while ago, difficult to find now.

And I think, it’s just like sub-division targeting of Ads like sub-states in US. Can be seen here- https://brave.com/transparency/

@Aman_M oooh, ok. And hear ya about finding things on GitHub. Probably would help if I had a clue about what I was looking at. :wink:

@4354576 From what Aman and Brave support have said, I think your country does not have the Brave Ads Resources (IT) component. So the version 0 is applicable. The update error is expected because there is nothing there to retrieve/update.

Please provide an update.

I’m getting so little brave ads that I thought there is something broken.
I tried investigating and saw this error in the component.

@4354576 Have you checked ads availability at Regional Catalog Viewer? You may have reached ad campaign caps. Posting a section from User Solutions: Brave Release 1.40.x topic that may help. Lots of information on why you may be getting less ads.
