Hi, I am a long‑term user of Brave Browser. For the past few weeks, the ad‑blocking system is not working on Facebook. Ads are showing even with shields on. Is this happening only to me or to everyone? Hope it will be solved soon. Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue. I still see 2 sponsored ads above the chat list, even with Brave Shields set to Aggressive.

Can you both please share the OS and Brave version you’re using when you see this issue? Additionally, can you please share a screenshot of which the specific ads you’re seeing on the page?

Yes, I’m facing this issue on both Android and Windows 11.(**v1.88.138)**None of the ads on Facebook are being blocked — it’s not just one or two, literally every ad shows up.
