Brave blocking regular images, yet allowing ads with their images

Troubleshooting technical issues is much easier when both the user and support agent practice clear communication. For this reason, we have provided the template below for you to fill out with information about your issue. Please provide as much detail as possible so we can most efficiently resolve your problem.


Description of the issue:
I have been reading the Gateway pundit.com stories and website for years. occasionally there’s a problem with using Brave, and the ad removal function of your browser, and this website. it seems to have rude it’s head again. when you go to the main page, you can see that all the pictures above each headline, are not showing, yet all the ads are now showing, along with those pictures in the ads. I think either your software, or the websites programming, has changed. can you please fix this? thank you.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Go to thegatewaypundit.com
  2. Look at the homepage. You will see that the places where pictures should appear, above each headline link, do not appear, yet all the advertising on the page is still active at showing, which it normally doesn’t, and a picture for each of these advertisements is showing.

Expected result:
You won’t see pictures above the headlines, but you will see ads now along with their pictures.

Works fine for me on my S24 Ultra. Did you possibly use “block element” and add a custom filter for it?
