I've spent a while trying to get my custom filters working. I have some pretty basic ones I've used for years before I switched to Brave. I think the Custom filters area of the about:adblock page should be disabled until it's working properly to avoid frustration and confusion.

Which list are you using?
What is the site that displays that jpg?

using these regional filter lists:
KOR: Korean Adblock List
KOR: Fanboy's Korean
I see no ads at all using these filter lists in ublock-origin on Chrome

site's address is:
www.ilbe.com

Requires investigation but my best guess is because of cosmetic filters which we aren't using yet.

I have the same problem, custom filter doesn't work on this website. The filter works fine when using Chrome + uBlock Origin

Platform: Windows 7 x64
Brave version: 0.18.36

Website:

Filter:
