When using the element blocker to block sections of a site that slip through the ads filter or auto-redirect upon click, I’ve found you essentially have to tap on the oftentimes very shady or NSFW ad to block it. This currently opens the linked content in a new tab, which is not ideal and possibly not safe. Is it possible to prevent redirects from happening when using the element blocker? Am I just doing this wrong?
