Description of the issue:
Currently, there’s no available option to sync Custom Filters you created on Brave AdBlock.
This is an issue for users who have their custom filter list of elements on websites that are not ads, but they blocked because of X reasons.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary)
Sync a device to your sync chain. Check Sync Settings, Custom Filters sync option nowhere to be found
Reproduces how often:
Every time you want to sync a new device in your sync chain
Brave Version(See the About Brave
page in the main menu):
V1.39.120
Type of devices currently running on the Sync chain in question:
Basically, any computer device in your sync chain.
I posted it here since the GitHub of Brave Browser doesn’t seem to be an area for feature request.
I only see issue report templates at https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/new/choose
Plus, the introductory message on a new post in the Feature request section of this community doesn’t say to look for a duplicate post on GitHub.
But I did copy the GitHub issue format on here to make it easier to understand the context of the feature request.
No harm in posting here but this is a known desired feature and I believe we do plan on implementing this sooner rather than later.

I did not link the github post as to mean that your community post was duplicate of github issue.
I linked it to mean that the sync issue is known to brave team and will be in work to solve it eventually (or they are solving it, right at this moment).
@Mattches what is the current prioritization regarding this Feature request? Is it already in the pipeline or still in the backlog?
thank you for sharing!

## Description
We should allow Brave sync to sync personal ad block filters among all devices.
Discussion with a user on twitte https://twitter.com/akhildabral/status/1416594049989976065
## Steps to Reproduce
1. If a user adds custom filters into brave://adblock
2. Let it sync with other devices
Also whether custom adblock filter subscriptions in `brave://adblock` could also sync on other devices
Looks like it is still in the backlog so I can’t say exactly when it will be implemented.
