Ads showing in Brave, but not Chrome

Browser Support Ad-Blocking
1

I’m considering switching my office from Chrome to Brave, but for some reason Ads are showing in Brave that do not show up in Chrome. I typically use Chrome with uBlock Origin and it blocks everything. I tried brave with Shields only, but this particular ad was displayed. I disabled Shields and used uBlock Origin extension, but ad still shows. I tried to tweak the Brave Flags and disable all of the ad features in Brave, but no luck. Latest version 1.76.80 in Windows 10. All of the news stories in Yahoo Finance display this particular ad: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/live/trump-tariffs-live-updates-trump-suggests-flexibility-as-liberation-day-nears-for-reciprocal-duties-191201986.html

At the top of the page, you see an ad that says “Unlock stock picks and a broker-level newsfeed that powers Wall Street. UPGRADE NOW” - This ad does not show in Chrome.

Looking for suggestions.

Checking on Chrome, with uBlock Origin: It does display.

You can use Block Elements in Brave to hide it. The rule it created when I did so is finance.yahoo.com##.subs-upsell.yf-b9lwqy

At which point, nothing there.

Reason why its not blocked, its a self promo. Both for Easylist, uBO and Brave. If a site is advertising itself on its own site, it’s left alone.

Why does uBlock in Chrome remove the ad if it’s a self promo? How can I block self promo ads in Brave? This issue is literally the only reason I haven’t made the switch to Brave.

This solved my problem. Thank you for the solution. I simply blocked the element.
