Description of the issue:
I stopped receiving Brave Ads. I don’t know the exact date when this happened. It may range from a few days ago to a few weeks ago, because I didn’t really notice it. Quite a lot of things happened during this period, but I don’t know which of them has something to do with the error, so let me address them one by one.
I accidentally clicked the BraveBrowserSetup.exe file in my Downloads folder, which lead to the installation of older-version Brave. I tried to correct it today by uninstalling and reinstalling the newest version of Brave I just downloaded it today. Everything on Brave seems unchanged after the re-installation. But the problem still persists.
Also, I disconnected my Uphold account from the Brave wallet last week. I don’t know if this affects any setting of Brave and lead to the problem receiving ads.
Furthermore, I installed some extensions during this period. They include Presearch, Metamask, and Swash, although Swash is removed almost instantly after the installation.
The screenshot that includes all of the installed extension is as follows
