The resident Brave Browser ad-blocking expert is Brave Team member @fanboynz . . . and he sometimes shows up; but other times, reads only and then keeps moving. He has a lot of ground to cover, every day. I have no way other than effectively PING’ing him as I have done, attempting to bring your issue to his attention.
