Hello,
By removing ads, some features of the website are broken.
For exemple: photopea/photopea#7108

Hi guys, I am the creator of Photopea. I had to use a different Github account, since you have blocked my official account https://github.com/photopea/

In your last release of Brave, you completely break Photopea. Why do you do it?

photopea/photopea#7085
photopea/photopea#7087
photopea/photopea#7089
photopea/photopea#7090
photopea/photopea#7094
photopea/photopea#7094
photopea/photopea#7100
photopea/photopea#7101
photopea/photopea#7108
photopea/photopea#7109

I hope you are happy to cause your users so much pain. And it is painful for me to have to tell everyone to switch to a different browser.

If you dont fix it in 2 days, Photopea.com in Brave will be just a white screen saying "Switch to a better web browser."

Hi @kuckir

I assure you, it's not the intention to break Photopea. This is my first time hearing about the website

Thanks for sharing the specific issues - I'll see if we can help with a webcompat fix. I can confirm the official account is blocked - but I don't see why at the moment. I suspect there may have been some heated messages which other repository owners ended up deleting. I can definitely unblock this account if we're able to keep a good relationship here

Let me share this issue - stay tuned

@kuckir were you able to repro the breakage? Similar to you, I'm having issues reproducing the issue on Brave: photopea/photopea#7090 (comment)

I've created #40735 to track this breakage. We want to get to the bottom of this and figure out what aspect of our blocking is breaking photopea.com.

[kuckir]

I do allow my users to block ads in Photopea.

But I want to tell them, that my income depends on them watching ads, or paying for a Premium account, and ask them to watch ads.

If you will try to remove my message "Are you blocking ads?", I will detect it and I will not allow a user to use any part of my work in such a case.

[ryanbr]

Its been fixed.

Closing this out since the original issue opened by @ryanbr is fixed and the website breakage also seems to be fixed. Tracking adblock-rust support for the filter mentioned in the issue description here: brave/adblock-rust#391
