@srcnalt Can you please provide a URL that shows these ads?

I could not find this particular cartoon site in my history but the same ad provider has footer banner ads on 4chan.

@srcnalt I'm unable to find any ads loading; it looks like Brave is blocking everything (but I don't see any steepto URLs in the block list either. Can you try opening your developer tools with Ctrl+Shift+I and visit the Network tab. From there, press Ctrl+R (which will refresh the page). You should then see the Network tab fill up with requests/responses; use the Filter at the top left and type in steepto.com to see if anything is found.

It should look something like this:

I noticed that the the ad is in an iframe, and shows-up (in this particular website) when scroll hits the bottom of the page.

Ah, I was able to repro. Thank you!

@lukemulks Something like *$websocket,domain=4chan.org resolves the issue, but prevents the downloading of CSS files too. I suspect we can limit this rule to $script somehow, but my rule-writing skills aren't on point like yours :) Anything we can do here?
