Why i am seeing Youtube ads in Brave browser again and again?
Hello @hrithikks
Thank you for reaching out and sorry to hear you’re having trouble with blocking ads on YouTube. Our best recommendation is to use this link you can block ads using aggressive mode.
Let me know if that works!

@hrithikks You shouldn’t even be getting any ads. Even with default Shields settings, you shouldn’t really be getting anything. So if you’re seeing ads, it makes it sound like your Shields are disabled or you have an extension creating a conflict.
If you want the best result on adblock, essentially make sure your settings are similar to what you see below. Settings are in brave://settings/shields and brave://settings/shields/filters
NOTE
I have Easylist - Cookie List on out of habit. It actually belongs to Fanboy Annoyances List as well, I believe. So you don’t need both on, but it is what it is.

Equally important is to make sure you’re using the most recent version of the browser, if you aren’t.
Lastly, it should auto update itself pretty regularly, but you might want to try going to brave://components and make sure Brave Ad Block Updater and all are updated. Most likely as you’re forcing updates, it may push one or two through that would have been pending until later.
When I say to check it, go ahead and hit Check for update, don’t trust that it says Up-do-date for the status.
If you do all of that and still have issues, then I’d like you to test on Private Window or Guest Window. The reason is I’m going to assume you have an extension creating a conflict.
