Brave has begun to not show the content of Forocoches.com, the most important Spanish-language forum on the Internet.

Many users are reporting this problem with Brave in the old version of the forum. The entire page looks blank with the blocker activated, but if it is deactivated the forum looks fine but with advertising. Can you fix this? Thank you.

**Description of the issue:
When entering the forum in its old version, the ad blocker blocks the content of the forum. This only happens with the old version of the forum design, not with the current one, which is the one you see when you enter. This problem does not occur with Chrome and Ublock or Firefox with Ublock, it only happens in Brave.

**Exact URL of the website in question: www.forocoches.com

**Did the issue present with default Shields settings? Yes.

**Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off? Yes, the problem disappears.

**Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no): No, I know it, but if it doesn’t happen with Ublock it would have to be some similar configuration.

**Does the site work as expected when using Chrome? Yes.

**Brave version (check About Brave):

Versión 1.71.121 Chromium: 130.0.6723.91 (Build oficial) (64 bits)

@Ensaladilla,
What exactly are you seeing when you visit the site? On my end, the site loads without issue and I’m able to view form entries and browse the site without any issues.

The problem is when you log in to the forum with a registered user, the content disappears if you have Brave shields activated and shows them if they are not activated.

Instead of the topics and content being green, it is shown as I showed above.

The thing is that with Chrome and Firefox with Ublock, it doesn’t happen.

Unfortunately this cannot be tested due to the fact that you need an invite to register for the site. I will cc @fanboynz here to take a look anyway to see if he can take a look.

Yes, the problem is that it only fails when you log in with a user and since you do not have an invitation you cannot see. It’s the bad thing.

With Chrome and Firefox with ublock the solution is to deactivate the cosmetic filters for that website, but from Brave you cannot do that, you have to deactivate all the shields to be able to see the content of the forum. Is it possible to do something with forocoches.com regarding the cosmetic filters in the blocker so that the content can be displayed? Thank you.

The fact you still need to deactivate cosmetics, shows it an issue for more than Brave.

@@||forocoches.com^$ghide should be be enough to at least disable generic cosmetics.

Thanks but adding that line of code doesn’t work. I have verified that deactivating the adguard Spanish/Portuguese filter solves it, so the problem would be in that filter list. Greetings.
