How to use Brave's "Cosmetic Filter" to block undesired page elements

Hello everyone! I’m writing this because I see a lot of reports citing ads still being displayed in browser. The majority of the time, these ads are first party and its easy to forget that Brave does not block 1st party ads by default, as they tend to be safe/non-malicious. However, in the case of gmail, Facebook and many other websites I can see why this may not be desirable and thought that it would relevant to show how this can still be done by a feature recently implemented in Brave (Dev/Be…

@lucho50 first it seems that you’re still using Brave (muon) 0.25.x. This version is no longer supported and has been replaced by the new Brave Browser (brave-core) 0.60.x and higher.

• https://brave.com/brave-upgrades/

You should get the upgrade notification. If you not see it, can you try download the new version from brave.com ?

• https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018538092-How-do-I-update-Brave-to-the-newest-version-

No need to uninstall the current Brave . You can run it in parallel. After you installed the new version, you can import your browser data from prev. Brave.

And recover your Brave Rewards wallet too (if you have any)

Second, Brave not block 1st party ads. https://brave.com/faq#search-engines

But you can manually block it like @MVC mentioned above. Which is available with 0.60.x version.

Thanks

Can you send me a screenshot of what your context (right-click) menu looks like on your end?

[lucho50]

Hereby the screenshot required.

Looks like Block element via selector is visible right there. Click it, add the appropriate element to be blocked (please see the tutorial again for reference – note that the exact tag or div may and will likely not be the same as the one in the Help article. The article is there to assist you in finding it.

Thank you, I’ll try it. Thanks for the support.
