Description of the issue: www.meteoblue.com shows a layer which blurs content asking for a paying subscription because it notices that I use an ad blocker. It does it every time I search a new location.
Exact URL of the website in question: https://www.meteoblue.com/it/tempo/settimana/milano_italia_3173435
Screenshot of the ad as it appears in Brave:
Did the issue present with default Shields settings? I suppose yes, I don’t think i set something special in settings.
Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off? Yes
Does the ad appear when using a Private window as well? Yes
What OS are you using when you see the ad? Both Windows 11 and Android 16
Brave version (check About Brave): 1.90.128 (Windows), 1.90.125 (Android)
Hello, changing Shields settings to “Aggressive” by clicking on the Lion, clicking on the advanced options, and then on the first dropdown, selecting “aggressive” fixed the issue for me.
Thank you, I’ll try for sure. Can I do the same even if I use it as a page “added to the homepage” in Android?
yes that’s perfectly fine. It doesn’t affect that behavior.
I can’t get it working because if i use the “add to the homepage” function the menu bar and the lion are not present. Can I set the “Aggressive” ad blocking for this particular site?
Yes, you can set the site to Aggressive, but let me know (in screenshot form) what happens when you do.
Checking better, the banner appears also in aggressive mode, maybe a little less frequently but it can be just an impression. I try to attach a screencast to show exactly the behavior i mention but it says i can’t since i’m a new user. So you can watch it at the following URL: Screen_Recording_20260608_114351_Brave
@fanboynz could you please look into this?
