Brave-browser: Brave 0.55.18 - can't edit adblocker lists, can't enable regional lists

[ghost]

How to enable regional lists?
How to edit adblocker lists?

"Edit default shield settings" button move to Brave Settings

This is must have feature, as it seems the current Brave adblock rules does not block most of the ads.

We need a way to enable more adblock lists, or at least provide a way to insert out own rules, copied from those lists out there.

How is it possible that official release version does not have this feature?

This should be mark as beta or dev!

Yes,
Current Brave AdBlock doesn't block most of the ad.
It also doesn't block regional ad and there is no option to enable that.

Probably duplicate of #403

We don't have custom list of ads yet but regional adblock is supported. You can see if it is in use or not in about:adblock

[Sh1d0w]

@bbondy about:adblock says: Regional Ad Block: Disabled. How can I enable it in the new chromium build?

What about windows? Is Brave linux only? If so please mark it on website.
I am Windows user and for me current official 0.55.18 release is dev or at least beta.

[srirambv]

@Haxy89 Brave is available for all platforms(Windows/Mac/Linux). The link posted ihere s specific for Linux. For Windows you need to change the region in Settings and regional adblock to work.

@srirambv Thanks man, but I am Mac user for several years now. Can you advise how to enable this on Mac? I was searching for region setting, but there is no region there?

[srirambv]

@Sh1d0w for Mac its here https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/1238#issuecomment-426068531

@srirambv Thanks. My region is set to Bulgaria, but my system language is set to English (I don't want to change the system language as I prefer to be in English). Regional adblock reads disabled in Brave's settings.

I guess I will have to wait until you guys implement this as standalone setting in Brave, instead of relying on the system settings.

[srirambv]

403 should cover this as well.
