Is the Brave Ad Blocker a learning ad block?

Description of the issue:
Social buttons on the side of websites blocking the text on the site. Making it so you can’t read the information in the article.

I’m asking because this (Social Media Buttons on the side box) seems to be a new thing with links from Pintrest and other blog type posts on the internet.

Will the Brave Ad Blocker learn that the user is annoyed by these types of popups or does the user have to use the element selector to remove this social media sharing boxes every time?

If the Ad Blocker was able to learn about these things being blocked then maybe it could block them automatically in the Brave Shields for other users to not be annoyed by this issue.

Exact URL of the website in question:

Did the issue present with default Shields settings? (yes/no)
Yes
Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off?
It functions, but parts of the site are blocked by this box. Making it hard to read the article.
Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no):
NO
Does the site work as expected when using Chrome?
It works the same
Brave version (check About Brave):
Version 1.26.74 Chromium: 91.0.4472.124 (Official Build) (x86_64)

That works. Thank you.

Now it blocks it after it popups up. No longer an issue now in my opinion. At least it disappears so you can actually read the article now.

If you dislike cookie message, and newsletter popups, and social widgets. Use Fanboy Annoyances instead.
