I’m pretty sure those are emails sent to your inbox, I don’t think those are ads that the browser can block

No no, they are real ads in Gmail. It’s not emails. I can’t reply to them, it’s displaying ads if I click on it. I think you don’t know what Gmail ads are.
The « Annonce » in green means it’s ads inserted by Gmail.

I will try agressive mode tomorrow. But something has changed because I have not changed any field settings and I never had the ads with Brave.

Gotcha, I can’t read that language so I didn’t know what that word meant. Good luck fixing this! :slight_smile:

Aggressive mode works.

Aggressive mode is not working.

Interesting. I see something similar in Yahoo mail lately.

It’s an arms race. I expect Brave’s block list needs some new filters.
