Description of the issue: When shields are on aggressive Bing displays ads that sometimes go away with refresh but will come back again.
Exact URL of the website in question: bing.com but primary search stores or locations.
Screenshot of the ad as it appears in Brave:
Did the issue present with default Shields settings ? Yes
Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off? Yes
Does the ad appear when using a Private window as well? Yes
What OS are you using when you see the ad? macOS but also on Windows
Brave version (check About Brave):
Yeah I see this too – will have someone on Shields team take a look. I think it’s worth noting that Chrome/FF/Brave with uBO also does not block these sponsored links.
EasyList filter subscription (EasyList, EasyPrivacy, EasyList Cookie, Fanboy's Social/Annoyances/Notifications Blocking List) - A: https://www.bing.com/search?q=opera · easylist/easylist@a9c426b
Should clean it up a little. Remove the obvious “Download” ad div in the search
I usually use AdGuard for other browsers and I haven’t noticed the issue with their blocker
Would avoid mixing adblockers, uBO probably is the exception here since we align our rules with them. I can’t guarantee using Adguard + Brave shields could cause false positives or issues on some sites.
Sorry I wasn’t clear, I only use Shields on Brave but Adguard for all other browsers.
