Issues with Brave Shields Blocking Certain Websites

Hi Brave Community,

This is my first post here, and I’ve been using Brave for a while now. One of the features I really appreciate is Brave Shields, which helps protect my privacy online. However, I’ve recently run into an issue where certain websites are either not loading properly or some elements (like images or videos) are being blocked.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Disabling Brave Shields on specific sites to see if the issue resolves
  • Clearing my cache and cookies
  • Ensuring that Brave is up to date

Despite these steps, the issue persists on a few sites, particularly media-heavy ones. Has anyone experienced similar problems, and are there any additional settings or workarounds I should explore to resolve this while still keeping privacy protection intact?

Thank you for any advice or suggestions!
