Hello @GIT 
I can help you with custom filters…
I open this site on desktop and inspect elements, and find the classes to block.
If you can access on Desktop, Go to brave://settings/shields/filters
On mobile (I tested on Android) go to:
three dots (kebab) menu > Settings > Brave Privacy and Security > Content Filtering > Create custom filters
And create a personalized filter with this 3 lines:
##.SH-Ads-content > center
||i.ibb.co/8XwLQrf/image.png
##.ancr-has-close-btn.ancr-align-center.ancr-lo-separate_column.ancr-wrap.ancr
Save changes and open site again…
More info about custom filters: https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/6449369961741-How-do-I-manage-Ad-Block-filters-in-Brave
And Static Filter Syntax (this piece of code that I wrote in custom filter): https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax
When you get to the content filter, under the button to create a custom filter, there are several filter lists, by default, your Brave should be configured for only a few of them.
You may find among them, or on some other site on the Internet, a customized list focused on removing ads from these types of streaming sites.
But for this specific case, these 3 lines I wrote above will solve it for this specific site.
Landed a fix into Brave shields Brave Ad Block Updater - Version: 1.0.8799 or better in brave://components
which popup? seems pretty clean here
@GIT I am not seeing this issue on my end.
I’m able to click any server and anywhere on the website without seeing any pop-ups or redirects.
i see ads too on different servers , i see original poster reporting by tagging mods but got no satisfactory replies
why so @shivan @luke.mulks
Does updating Brave Ad Block Updater in brave://components help?
Brave Ad Block Updater is 1.0.9067
still i see popups on sever 2, 3, 4,5,6
https://toonstream.co/episode/nina-the-starry-bride-1x1/
@pemyun please update to the latest ad block updater version in brave://components — latest version is 1.0.9072 — and check and see if the issue persists.
I do not see any ads on this site on Android or desktop using the latest Brave version and ad block updater version:
updated to latest version
but sever 2 still produces ads
in order to prove my point, sever 2 over here https://toonstream.co/episode/nina-the-starry-bride-1x1/#options-1
is a abyss domain
which is same player here https://ihavenotv.com/wild-wild-space
(eg)
in both cases ad popups are there,try to click play, ads appear, try different navigation in player, popup
i can’t simplify more than this
i’ll shift to firefox
@pemyun still not seeing any ads on toonstream using that exact link you shared. In the second link however, while there were no on page/in video ads, I did get a redirect when I tapped play here. Will have @fanboynz take another look.
Created an issue, seems Android related since desktop is fine.
i do see ads again at sever 2, sever 3, updated to latest version(1.0.9079)
here are only 2 users reporting, if you want more user feedbacks, post this issue on reddit r/bravebrowser to see feedback
Hi @fanboynz ,I noticed that this GitHub Issue has been marked as closed with the “fixed as component update” label. However, I’m still encountering the pop-up issue. Could you please take another look?
@fanboynz,please at least tell us whether you will work on this or have dropped it.
By the way why you need to plead before someone who is reluctant to reply(also i detailed every step of problem & informed browser devs in this issue) when there are plenty of alternatives are available.
just like me i shifted from brave browser to firefox browser +ublock origin
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/ublock-origin/)
now probably fanboynz will probably block my reply& my account because i spit out truth
@fanboynz I’m experiencing the same issue as the original poster. This has been ongoing for quite some time. Why hasn’t the Brave Browser team addressed this yet?
Looks like I was able to reproduce, although it did take a while for the ad/popup to appear. Getting @fanboynz to take another look.
He will get to this when he is able to. Please understand that there is a litany of issues and jobs any one team member here at Brave is working on at one time. Sometimes an issue may take a moment to get looked at — we appreciate your patience.
