Shields blocking less?


Description of the issue:

I have noticed brave shields blocking less amounts of ads (on the icon it shows how much was blocked), before it used to be quite a lot and ublock origin didnt block nearly anything.

Now the opposite seems to be true aka ublock origin block hundreds or more trackers and ads instead of shields.

To make sure i tested reinstalling brave without changing any settings but still adding ublock origin.

Exact URL of the website in question:

N/A

Screenshot of the ad as it appears in Brave:

No ads shown but shields seems to miss a lot of tracking and others that ublock origin doesnt.

Did the issue present with default Shields settings? (yes/no)

Yes

Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off?

Not related to the question.

Does the ad appear when using a Private window as well? (yes/no)

Not related.

What OS are you using when you see the ad?

Windows 11, Android, Linux.

Brave version (check About Brave):

Brave 1.83.109, Chromium 141.0.7390.55
