Brave browser thinks CookieMonster is a tracker/ad #1168

Bug description

I apologize that this is probably NOT something Cookie Monster can fix. But is better here than anywhere else...

I've been using the userscript to auto load Cookie Monster, and today (September 1st 2023) I noticed that Brave has stopped letting Cookie Monster load. Brave has started classifying it under Trackers and Ads. I honestly doubt Cookie Monster added a tracker as it's open source 🤷‍♂️ so the fault is most likely Brave's fault.

I also DO NOT know if it's global and my browser just updated it's list of trackers or whether MY brave version in an attempt to learn what is a tracker falsely added CM to the list. But if it IS global than I image a more than a few dozen people may be coming in to ask whats going on.

Way for brave users to resolve: Create an exception rule

To reproduce

Unknown if reproducible... but downloading and using the brave browser for long enough has apparently added the URL https://cookiemonsterteam.github.io/CookieMonster/dist/CookieMonster.js as a tracker/ad.

I think it's global, can confirm same behavior started for me in Brave today.
