Strange ads above google search engine results after a automatic page refresh

Description of the issue:
When I’m surfing with google I’m noticing a lot of ads above the page results.
Basically when I press search, brave displays me the google search results page but after 1 seconds it refreshes showing me a lot of ads above!

How can this issue be reproduced?
Using google search engine.

Expected result:
No refresh, no THIS TYPE of ads

Testing between standard and aggressive (in shields) modes, I’m not seeing any google ads.

  1. Does adjusting shields to aggressive-mode help for you?
  2. Does turning off Ad personalization in https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-personalization

Unfortunately:

  1. Doesn’t work.
  2. Doesn’t work too.

But I’ve see “block script” works!!! But maybe… is this solution too aggressive?

PS: see how many ads T.T

I have a feeling these ads are being inserted either by an extension or another program. Can you disable all extensions and/or try private window mode?

Yes!!! Thank you so much!!! It was one of my extensions!
