Where Should you add ?
Add these Filters here and make sure to click “Save Changes”
Sidenote: If you know other useful filters, Please let me know.
i think Brave Browser should add these type of optimizations here brave://settings/socialBlocking like sites for yt so that users doesn’t have to do the Manual work…
Until Brave team adds this feature, i hope other users would find this list useful.
