Briefly describe your issue: it aint blocking ads properly even tho aggressively blocking ads is on mostly not blocking on spotify and yt

**What Operating System and Brave version are you using (Menu --> About Brave)?**windows obv , latest i guess

Is your Brave Rewards Profile currently connected to a custodian or Solana? (yes/no) na

**What date did you connect your Brave Rewards Profile?**nah

Have you been able to successfully receive payments in the past? nope

Are you using a VPN? (yes/no) no

Do you experience this if you try Youtube in a Private Window?

@siditgarg that isn’t an answer. I mean, you could be on Windows 7 with the “latest” for you but that would be years out of date. The specific version of an OS such as 7, 8, 10, 11, etc and then the detailed version of your browser like 1.23.456 is kind of very critical on knowing what might be happening and giving you proper instructions.

Also should point out you put this in Brave Rewards category when it’s kind of obvious you should have been in Browser Support > Ad-Blocking . Putting things in the proper categories and providing the correct information is very important. You won’t get good help when you don’t.

So back to this, it’s good to know what version of everything you’re using. And then you should probably check brave://components and report back if you can update things there or if it gives you any error messages.

Beyond that, good to know if you’re using extensions, if the issue happens in a private window, etc.

obv not


u can see it on home page its not even stoping ads on spotify anymore

im using windows 11 and brave is at its latest version too sir


am not in a pvt window or anything like that

Check brave://components what does Brave Ad Block Updater show?

how to update it ?

and yea there is no such component as Brave Ad Block Updater

Hmm? Did you scroll down? Not sure they are always in the same order, but should be there.

And if it truly isn’t on the list, then you may just want/need to install Brave on top of your current version to see if it patches things. So go to https://brave.com/download/ and install on top. It won’t erase anything.

In terms of update errors, not sure if yours is the situation some others have had where it’s not accessible because of admin permissions. If so, you’d have to do similar to what is said at https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/38609#issuecomment-2195847971

While at it might want to make sure you’re not choosing to run Brave as admin. For example, if you right click the Brave shortcut on your desktop and choose Properties and then click on Compatibility it will look something like below. Make sure the Run this program as an administrator is not selected.

as u r saying it should be here rgt but i aint here sir
