Here is an idea of what i think it should look like:
Just right clicking somewhere and pressing "block element". Then you can choose what element to block and it adds it as a filter in a "cosmetic filters" section in settings > shields > Manage Adblock Settings... :lion: Just like in Ublock Origin :+1:

Would also help with issues where paywall prompts block content until users whitelist the site w/their ad blocker.

Additional adblock support for blocking inline-scripts would be helpful here too.

can this be closed in favor of #344?

344 is only for cosmetic ads similar to the ones shown on Google after search. This is specifically for 1st party ads which are not blocked.

right click button on the mouse to block images and ads

+100000000 thanks :)
maybe including some "trivial big players" individually, like this:

Disable 1st party ads:

  • [ ] Disable globally (everything)

Exceptions (enabled, even global disable active):

  • [ ] Google Search
  • [ ] Google Youtube
  • [ ] Google Mail
  • [ ] Facebook

Add your exception domains here:

[_____________________] [  add ]
[ myfavouriteads.com ]  [remove]
[ whateveris.org     ]  [remove]
[ *.specnews.com     ]  [remove]

The title should change to "manually block content" and not "1st party ads".

On Chrome I use _Ublock Origin_ to block all sort of annoying things that aren't "ads", tailoring the UI of my favorite websites to suit my needs.

Examples of content I block:

  • Resilient cookie reminders that will pop up each and every time, or other kinds of modern popups.

  • Annoying "Buy Premium/Upgrade" UI elements on freemium services that I don't wish to pay for.

+1 on changing the title to something like "add option to right click to remove content"
I am totally agreeing with the user cases that @BraveSauce mentioned above :+1:

+1 this issue. It's a dealbreaker to my using Brave.

+1 on this issue

Very disappointed to see Google search ads not being blocked.

Is this feature being worked on? Without this Brave is not really worth it...
