Brave unable to block new window pop-ups

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)

Not the same thing, not every popup is the same or non-legit. The popups being generated on tvids is caused by adserver scripts not the same as the texas.gov site.

I’ll look tomorrow/next few days.

Test this;

|https://www.*.com/*.min.css|$script,3p

that worked :slight_smile: thank you

This has stoped working and the popup now opens completely. I feel like a browser claiming to block all popups should be able to handle this. Given that mullvad browser can
