Brave does not block pop ups that open new windows. This drives me crazy and should be very solvable given that firefox with ublock never had this issue. I discovered this on:
https://tvids.to
I tried to recreate the issue on a pop-up test site and it indeed fails here as well:
https://www.rrc.texas.gov/resource-center/research/gis-viewer/gis-popup-blocker-test/
Did the issue present with default Shields settings? (yes/no)
Makes no difference
Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off?
The popups now load completely and take me to new sites instead of being a white blocked window.
Does the ad appear when using a Private window as well? (yes/no)
Yes
What OS are you using when you see the ad?
MacOS Version 15.1.1
Brave version (check About Brave
):
Version 1.73.104 Chromium: 131.0.6778.204 (Official Build) (arm64)
