It’s typical for ad blockers to remove CSS classes containing ‘ad’.

But Brave takes it a step further and strips a common Tailwind class we used for positioning the header: “bottom-0”. Why? We can only guess the Brave team decided to remove anything with the word ‘bot’ in it… a noble thought, but a touch overkill in practice, given the popularity of Tailwind and unpredictability of CSS class names.

Thank you, Brave, for what may have been The Verge’s most comical bug to date. (And please stop stripping bottom-0.)
