Description

Any website in an attempt to be loaded manually will not load if its URL triggers an adblock filter. It is not possible to disable adblock on that page, because it never gets loaded in the first place.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Enter the URL of a website with a URL that will trigger the Brave filter list - ex. asdf.com/ad.html
  2. Hit [Enter]
  3. See that the URL bar has deleted the URL you wanted to browse to.

Actual result:

URL bar goes from having a URL to no URL, with no feedback to the user. This confuses the user/dev.

Expected result:

Something like this: image

Reproduces how often:

always

Brave version (about:brave info)

Brave 67.0.3396.87

Reproducible on current release:

N/A, no current release

Website problems only:

  • Does the issue gets fixed with Brave Shields disabled?
    • Requires workaround to disable Brave Shields. Is not intuitive.
  • Does the issue reproduces on Chrome?
    • No, Brave Shields isn't on Chrome

Additional Information

Workaround: find a page (or create one) that links to the page you want to visit. Open that in a new tab, then disable brave shields on that page.
