Hi Brave Team,
I want to share some specific feedback about the “Block Element” feature.
Right now, when we block an element, we only get options like “minimize” and “show rule”. That’s fine, but it really falls short compared to how uBlock Origin handles it. In uBlock, there’s a proper section where you can see all blocked elements clearly, review them, unhide anything, and manage everything in one place. It makes life way easier.
It would be amazing if Brave’s Block Element tool also had a similar section where we can see every element we’ve blocked. Not just the rule text, but the actual items, the way uBlock Origin shows them. And if we want to check which exact element is hidden on a page, we should be able to unhide or remove that block instantly. This is a super practical feature and helps avoid breaking sites.
I’d also strongly request the same improvement for Android. To be honest, the Block Element feature on Brave for Android feels extremely limited right now. Editing or removing filters through Settings is a pain, especially for normal users. Most people won’t even find the place where those filters are stored. On mobile, it really needs a more intuitive UI.
Firefox’s extension system makes this easy because uBlock Origin shows everything clearly, so I’d really like to see Brave follow the same direction and bring more control into the browser itself.
As Brave isn’t really moving fast on the AI side or the automation side right now. That’s fine, but at least please accelerate the basic manual tools like this. These quality-of-life improvements actually make a big difference for users.
Also, Please forward this request to the GitHub development team as well, since they’re the ones who can act on it. Thanks!
