Brave shield blocking all scripts, css, fonts on website

Browser Support Web Compatibility

Description of the issue:

When brave shield is activated it seems to block all (assets) javascript, css, fonts, svg from some urls because it considers them “cross site trackers”. This happens on https://www.xing.com/events. The assets are fetched from a cdn which is on a different domain. However, other pages on this website seem to work fine, so I wonder why this specific page could be causing issues.

The assets are fetched from a path such as https://static.xingcdn.com/events-b2c/assets/9d21ee2.js. Could it be that some keyword is triggering the tracker?

The problem is that all 25 assets are blocked, and 99% of them are not trackers or ads.

Exact URL of the website in question:
This happens in the logged in version of the website.

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

Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off?

Yes

Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no):

When changing to “allow trackers & ads” the side works as expected.

Does the site work as expected when using Chrome?
Yes

Brave version (check About Brave): 1.34.80

Investigating further.

Thanks for investigating! I see the PR was merged around 6 hours ago, should I expect to see the changes reflected in my browser already? I upgraded to latest version
Version 1.35.100 Chromium: 98.0.4758.87 (Official Build) (x86_64) but unfortunately when accessing the page it still blocks all the assets from the cdn dmain.

I wonder if we should say that the cloudfront domain is this?

@@||cloudfront.net^$domain=static.xingcdn.com

Patch should be rolled out in the next 24hrs.
