Did the issue present with [default Shields settings]
Shields was enabled, lists are current, components and browser are all up to date.

Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off?
The notice just started appearing this week, but even with Shields enabled the site works. Brave is not alone however, it happens with Vivaldi as well. I also tried Chromium with 3 different ad blockers, all of which show the same message.

What OS are you using when you see the ad?
Windows 10

Brave version (check About Brave):
Brave 1.79.119
Chromium: 137.0.7151.68

Speaking of version… I noticed that even the most current version of Brave is only using Chromium 7151.68. In order to remediate an actively exploited zero day vulnerability it needs to be at least 7151.69.

Still an issue @theJman I wasn’t able to reproduce this

@fanboynz, I haven’t seen it the last 3 times I used their website. That isn’t necessarily unexpected though as it was variable; it could occur on back-to-back visits, it might not happen for 5 visits. Was one of your lists updated to address that particular issue? I haven’t updated Brave since then so it’s the same.

has issue been resolved?

I’m not getting that warning, but I’m getting a severely degraded performance with shields on.
