After the most recent update, I went to watch tennis, allegedly clicked on a free stream link per usual (allegedly), and repeatedly got multiple pop-out ad links.
Brave typically blocks all that mess for me VERY well. Browsing data gets cleared during the update process, but it doesn’t usually result in less protection.
What type of site / link?
Typically, they’re links to stable, high quality Tennis Channel (USA) or TennisTv (UK) streams, but this is a lower level ATP clay tournament (a 250 not Masters or Grand Slam), so the links this week have been even more international due to less prime coverage (see: screenshot & notice spelling). Maybe that change has contributed to increased pop out ads? At least these links have commentary (sometimes they don’t).
I had four & they change each time. After the 4th one, I decided to make a support thread. These are #5-8 repeated from earlier. Pop-out ads show whenever I click on the video itself in order to adjust volume, pause, etc.
More pop-ups / redirects while watching tennis (this time Madrid Open).
The streaming links with the green play button are the issue. When you click to play or click to unmute sound, thats when the redirect links appear (see below).
