Description of the issue:

When I navigate to wsj.com with shields up it won’t load correctly unless I disable script blocking. But when I disable script blocking it will show ads.

Exact URL of the website in question:

Screenshot of the ad as it appears in Brave
Did the issue present with default Shields settings? (yes/no)

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

Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no):

Does the site work as expected when using Chrome?

Brave version (check About Brave):

@jtsillas First off, script blocking will break majority of sites because this will prevent most videos and images, which run as scripts. Not to mention things like Java and all. So the report on this makes sense. You want to avoid Block Scripts typically, only enabling on sites as necessary

@jtsillas

But when I disable script blocking it will show ads.

You should try to check out the filters. Sounds like you’re using just the default. If you to go Settings → Brave Shields → Content Filtering you’ll see a lot of thing you can enable. Try the following:

• Fanboy Annoyance’s List

• uBlock Annoyances List

• Bypass Paywalls Clean Filters

Beyond that, your Shields settings should mostly look like below:
