Privacy Guard too intrusive

I have a new issue that sites are no longer letting me in or stopping to ask me to turn off the ad blocker. I have Privacy Guard set off so it is just using the basic blocking. But even putting a site address in the Allow Ads list is not letting me access some sites.

Because of this issue and not being able to contact support directly, I am moving to the Brave browser which, frankly, operates much faster than Avast and does not seem to have site access problems.
