Hello,

I am trying to block a specific website on MacOS browser. How can I do this on Brave? I found this article from a previous year but it appears to be outdated: How to block specific websites

Thanks!

1) Go to brave://settings/shields/filters

2) Scroll to the “Create custom filters” section.

3) Add ||twitter.com^$document for example to the text box.

4) Click the “Save changes” button.

Thanks, would this be the proper syntax for facebook?

||facebook.com

For blocking Facebook pages from loading when visiting the sites directly, you could use this.

||fb.*^$document
||facebook.*^$document
||instagram.com^$document
||threads.net^$document

For blocking third-party websites from loading content from Facebook, I would go to brave://settings/shields/filters and enable the two below filter lists, which will then be used in addition to the default Brave Shields lists:

  • Fanboy Annoyances List (this list includes the Fanboy’s Social list)
  • uBlock Annoyances List

Technically, the below should also prevent third-party websites from loading content from Facebook, but using the two above annoyances lists would likely cause less breakages.

||fb.*^$important,third-party
||facebook.*^$important,third-party
||instagram.com^$important,third-party
||threads.net^$important,third-party

||fbcdn.*^$important,third-party
||fbsbx.*^$important,third-party
||atdmt.com^$important,third-party
