Stopped getting ads after upgrading version

[ibLeDy]

Description

After upgrading to the latest version of Brave Browser i stopped getting ads. It happened before, and i fixed it by fully removing Brave and all it's files from the OS, in my case i'm using Linux and APT so i ran sudo apt remove --purge brave-browser and rm -rf ~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser to fully remove it and then sudo apt install brave-browser to install it again, and i started getting ads again. A couple days ago i upgraded to 86.1.15.75 didn't got any ads since.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Upgrade version via APT
2. Wait a couple days
3. Get 0 ads

Actual result:

Expected result:

Reproduces how often:

Don't know when it started happening but i remember upgrading with every new version and getting ads without issues, that is a couple months back, maybe chromium 84 even.

This issue is from a long time ago, I'm no using the same PC and I stopped using Brave a couple of months ago.
I'm thinking about trying Brave again, and although I don't think it will face the same issue, I will gather some more info if I do.
