Description of the issue: Is it gone in purpose and will it come back?
How can this issue be reproduced?
Open new redesigned Brave Shields menu via omnibox
Notice how Element Blocker is missing from the menu
Expected result: Element Blocker should be visible
Apologies – for got which category I was looking in.
That said, it’s because you’re in private browsing – the Block elements feature is not available in private by default and has been this way. You can see this by opening a private tab in previous builds – Beta or Stable at the time of writing this – and observe that the option is gone from the menu there as well.
If you go to Settings > Brave Shields & Privacy you can toggle on the Allow element blocking in private windows option which should resolve the issue.
Ahh I see – you’re right. In Stable and Beta the option appears but it looks like in the latest Nightly that option no long works. Reaching out to Android team now.
