yup, also happening on desktop as well. I believe it's due to removing ad videos that usually appear in that spot. Maybe we can shift the videos over by one so we're not displaying this white space. Pretty sure this is due to cosmetic filtering. We had some issues in the past as some area's stay blank that have been blocked by Brave.

Isn't this an ad taking first spot here?

@iccub yup, I guess the issue is to see if we can shift things over? Probably easier said then done but not sure if it's even worth it. I guess we can leave this opened as there's some users complaining about there being a blank area. But it's due to the ad video being removed as you mentioned above. I wouldn't consider this high priority though.

any opinion on that @ryanbr?

[ryanbr]

The blank space is just the uncollapsed advert that was removed. When we get procedural filters support in brave/brave-browser#16935 it should help. I think we can all agree, having a blank space isn't ideal is far better than showing the advert.

closing as wontfix for now

If brave/brave-browser#27874 is supported on ios, this empry space should be fixed also
