Description of the issue:
Brave shields suddenly began blocking all website formatting, going to a new website will show dozens of blocked elements up to and now regualrly shows the max 99+.
The only elements that don’t seem to be blocked is the raw unformatted text and the most basic HTML which will simply be a block of text left-aligned on the screen devoid of formatting (if it is displayed at all, many websites simply display blank with shields showing 99+ elements blocked).
No website functions at all, I had to turn shields off just to view Brave.com as it blocked 27 elements (all under the “trackers and ads” category).
Turning off Brave shields restores normal website operation.
Toggling between normal blocking and aggressive blocking makes no difference.
Exact URL of the website in question:
The entire internet.
Did the issue present with default Shields settings? (yes/no)
Doing a complete brave factory reset did not fix the issue.
Settings → Reset Settings → Restore defaults.
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):
Shields being on at all.
Does the site work as expected when using Chrome?
Yes.
Brave version (check About Brave):
