Hi! Thanks for your suggestion. I know how to create manual block rules like that though I’m not an expert of it so can’t fix things that need better filtering rules. The one you suggested for this one doesn’t work but I already created one before reporting this issue here using Brave’s element blocking and it works.
But the thing is, since it is shown on every visit and this website is popular enough, the rule to block it should be included in Fanboy’s Annoyances list, I think. It’s already present in AdGuard Annoyances.
The filter rule did work on my Mac; but I did not test the filter rule on my iPhone - duh.
Good to know that you can fix things.
Interesting. I tested on my Windows PC.
Anyway, I noticed that there are also, Promoted Content aka Ad that are also not blocked by Brave but by AdGuard.
Hopefully fanboy will have a look and add the required rules.
