I have the latest version of brave etc, but this has been going on for about 2 months. Never used to see this ad. It takes up 1/3 screen on many devices as it is huge at at the top of the page. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/brave/original/3X/b/6/b62344968233f587e23e41f9d0cfadcb5ba7708d.jpeg) Answering the questions below, but this isn’t really relevant as it affects everyone as other posts show such as this one from last month [Still getting ads on Brave. Please fix](https://community.brave.app/t/still-getting-ads-on-brave-please-fix/501741) **What Operating System and Brave version are you using (`Menu --> About Brave`)?** Latest Brave ([Version 1.58.131 Chromium: 117.0.5938.92](https://brave.com/latest/)) & Latest Windows 10 **Is your Brave Rewards Profile currently verified? (yes/no)** Yes **What date did you connect a your Brave Rewards Profile?** IDK, years ago **Have you been able to successfully receive payments in the past?** YEs **Are you using a VPN? (yes/no)** No **Are you in a supported region ([see here](https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/6539887971469-Supported-regions-for-verifying-Brave-Rewards-with-a-custodial-account-provider-) for list of supported regions)?** Yes ---

> [@ukheather](#): > > Answering the questions below, but this isn’t really relevant Just a FYI, you’re kind of right in that it’s not relevant because it was placed in the wrong category. You did Brave Rewards → Brave Ads. This is the ads Brave shows you and you earn BAT from viewing. Ads on websites like you’re seeing would be Browser Support → Ad-Blocking, or #Ad-Blocking If you had done it on that category, the template would have been below, which I think you’d agree is a bit more relevant. Though they honestly should revamp that template too, as their template is more for web compatibility than it is for ads blocking: > **Description of the issue:** > > **Exact URL of the website in question:** > > **Screenshot of the ad as it appears in Brave** > **Did the issue present with [default Shields settings](https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023646212-How-do-I-configure-global-and-site-specific-Shields-settings-)? (yes/no)** > > **Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off?** > > **Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no):** > > **Does the site work as expected when using Chrome?** > > **Brave version (check `About Brave`):** ---
