Description

Manually blocking annoyances that are not automatically caught by Brave is currently only supported in non-private tabs on Android (#44216). This is a downgrade for users that primarily use private tabs, a problem that will be exacerbated when #7564 and #18788 fixed.

This limitation is not as bad on Windows since uBlock Origin works fully in all tabs, an alternative that does not exist for Brave's Android. It can a default off option but is very much needed because many websites, particularly news and media sites have a lot that is not caught automatically.
