@fanboynz I’m still seeing the issue; it detects my ad blocker and tells me I need to disable it. The filters are all up to date (checked at brave://components). Here is a video of the issue: when I click “continue,” I just end up back at the same screen :counterclockwise_arrows_button:. This problem is affecting my Android, Linux, and Windows devices.

@fanboynz I’m still having the same problem and can’t download any movies because it detects my ad blocker. I tested it with Firefox + uBlock Origin and it works for me, but not with Brave. I hope there’s a solution before the thread closes after 30 days.

@Mattches , could you please help me resolve this issue? I tagged fanboy, but there’s still no response; I’m still experiencing the same problem, and it remains unresolved. I’m reaching out before this thread gets closed.

@Chocolate apologies for the wait time here. Yeah I see this as well. Happens when I set Shields to Aggressive as well.

Let me reach out to @fanboynz internally again and have him take a look. Appreciate your patience.

@Mattches I’m still having the same problem. There are 2 days left before this thread closes; if there’s no response, I’ll open a new one—until this is resolved once and for all.

Having our Shields folks take another pass at this. Appreciate your patience.

The filter isn’t working; I’m still having the same problem.

@fanboynz, as I told you yesterday, the filter you shared with me doesn’t work. Is there another way to solve my problem?

12

@Chocolate one of your extensions an ad blocker? As you can see in video/GIF, no issues on my end when I did what Fanboynz told you to do.

@Saoiray Sorry, it’s working fine on my PC now. I was testing the filter on my phone first, but it didn’t work; now I’m testing it on my computer and it is working, but for some reason, the filter doesn’t work on my phone. Regarding your question, I am using: Popups Blocker Strict, Dark Reader, and TWP - Translate Web Pages.
