Opening browser in aggressive blocking mode via command line

[Henryw-Adappt]

Description

Can't identify a flag or method for opening Brave with aggressive blocking enabled globally, by default. This is of particular interest for browser automation. I've identified three potentially relevant flags:

• --aggressive
• --aggressive-cache-discard
• --aggressive-tab-discard

The support page lacks information describing their purposes, however, so I'm left guessing. Regardless, they don't start Brave in aggressive mode.

Edit: They're in the Chromium source and seem unrelated.

I was unable to find other flags or methods for starting Brave with aggressive blocking (they may well exist, though, so please let me know if that's the case).

Steps to Reproduce

For the flags I've listed:

1. Open terminal in the application directory.
2. (In windows) wrt brave.exe --aggressive or other flags.

Of course, it's likely I misinterpreted their purpose.

Actual result:

Brave opens with "Block trackers and ads" enabled.

Expected result:

Brave opens with "Aggressively block trackers and ads" enabled.

Reproduces how often:

Always.

I'm going to close this, since the listed flags appear unrelated and this seems like more of a support question.
