Exception rules in brave://adblock or regional lists are ignored

See original GitHub issue

Currently exception rules added in brave://adblock and in regional lists are ignored, because of how filter logic is applied (main set of rules is queried, then regional, then custom, in order, until one of them has a match). This means an exception in a later list won’t correctly except a rule from a previous set, and that important wont override an exception from a previous set.

the last I know of this is a conversation with @antonok-edm where we discussed a couple of approaches and their trade-offs and agreed that he’d post it up for discussion

@antonok-edm isn’t currently working on this, so we’ll need to figure out internally whats best here.

I believe @bbondy and @AndriusA had a plan for tagging rules so that they could all be part of a single engine, of having the layered engines (which is what causes the issue). When either of you have a chance, could you say if the above (tag the rules) approach is still the official plan of action, and if so, if anyone is currently working on it (or if its in the backlog)?
