Safari not working right

What the heck is going on with Safari (15.4)? It's not loading pages correctly.


Here's one example between Safari and the Brave Browser.


Thanks

There is a blank placeholder for a page element named "AdThrive_Sidebar ... "



Its name implies the placeholder is intended for an advertisement whose content is missing.


Brave incorporates native ad-blocking features, so it can be assumed Brave is ignoring that page element whereas Safari is including it. Which one of those page rendering behaviors is "correct" is a matter of perspective. Presumably, an advertiser seeking to capitalize on clickthrough revenue would object to the way Brave renders web pages.
