Tom's Guide Newsletter Pop-up Report

Description of the issue:
Tom’s Guide Newsletter Pop-up …err Pop’s up,
BUT ONLY about half way down the article. So scroll a bit to see it.

ALSO, in brave://settings/shields/filters AND brave://components/ I have updated

Exact URL of the website in question:

YES

What OS are you using when you see the ad?

Brave version (check About Brave):
macOS 26.1:

I love how the part of the page responsible for this literally says “Promotion content”.

First time I’ve seen a pages source downright make it super easy to spot.
