Brave mobile adblock is blocking content on Asurascans


Hi,

Recently brave on mobile specifically iOS; I’m not sure about android, has been blocking the panels of images/manhwa content on https://asuracomic.net/, turning off the Adblock fixes this but the site is riddled with ads making it impossible to read.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Go to https://asuracomic.net/
  2. Click on one of the mangas/comic
  3. Notice that the images are not appealing after site has loaded
  4. Turn off adblock, to reveal images

Expected result:
Images are loaded with Adblock on.

Brave Version( check About Brave):

Version 1.73 (97)

Mobile Device details
iPhone 13

Zero issues on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I’m wanting to guess it baby something you have done in your settings? For example do you have block scripts enabled?

Ah yea block scripts was turned on for that website only and not in settings which is why I missed it all the times I had a look, thank you so much.

@Adhater not quite sure. I mean could always be related to cookies or something. Or it may also be because I enable some of the extra filters. If you go to Brave’s settings → Shields & Privacy → Content Filtering then mine is like so:

Beyond that default settings:

And to deviate away from things a bit:

I do want to point out that I’ve been avoiding Asura directly because they have been getting stupid. They kept trying to input hidden underlays and other things to force ads. And now I’m sure you see where they are trying to do the subscription model. They are “cheap” enough at $9.99 a year, but it still annoys me. I used to contribute to them when they kept it friendly and just would allow contributions. But now they are trying too hard to force things.

So I tend to use comick.io to read everything. It’s an aggregator site but a pretty good one overall. Obviously this little comment of mine isn’t much to do in regards to what you’re saying might be seeing on asuracomic.net but just more of a FYI.

And unrelated, do you happen to use Kenmei as well? I use it to track all my manga/manhwa.

Back on topic.

If you could do a video or screenshots of what you’re seeing, it might be helpful. And if it might help, I can do videos or whatever of my experience. But I definitely haven’t had issues of images not appearing on Asura

Try:

  • Brave Shields UP

  • Block Scripts: Disabled
  • Block Fingerprinting: Enabled

In a Brave Browser New Window, go to:

brave://settings/shields/filters

As the last lines, enter:

asuracomic.net###header-ads
asuracomic.net###main-menu-ads
asuracomic.net##div#a[href*="/subscription"]

Click the “Save” button.

Probably not enough adblocking filter rules, but the 3rd of that set, knocks out the main webpage’s big, top, central subscription ad.
