Hi. I’ve been using brave for a number of years and it’s generally very good at blocking ads and pop-ups. However, the pop-up videos on nbcnews.com always appear, and I can’t see anyway of stopping them. I already have my shield set to aggressive, is there anything I can do on Android to stop these infuriating pop-up videos? Thanks very much
Sounds like you are dealing with a Picture-in-Picture (“PiP”) issue. May interest:
Quickly enter picture-in-picture mode in YouTube
‘https://brave.com/whats-new/picture-in-picture/’
It’s not a picture in picture. It’s a pop-up news stream.
Just tap the X in the top right of the floating video? Or …
You can also use Brave shield’s Block element feature (attached pictures).
Here are the custom filter rules I got after using it, you can try pasting them into your browser custom filters:
-
Type/paste this in the address bar then enter:
brave://adblock -
Tap Create custom filters, paste these in the text box then tap Save changes
