At a glance, that stack may seem like an impossible task to understand, but I put the list there, in order for you to see how you can gain control and resolve your issue:

Using Brave Shields, I allow:

  • economictimes.indiatimes.com

and that allows me to tour the website of interest. At the same time, much of the advertising is not displayed.

Using Brave Shields - I have more success, with:

  • Brave Shields UP
  • Either Allow All Cookies or Block 3rd Party Cookies, but NOT Blocking All Cookies
  • Allowing JavaScripts from specific sources, but NOT Allowing All JavaScripts
  • Trackers & Ads treatment: Aggressive (at first), and then incrementally relaxing that setting
  • Fingerprinting (aka footprinting) blocking: Strict (at first), and then incrementally relaxing that setting

I almost NEVER use:

  • All of Brave Shields UP
  • All of Brave Shields DOWN
