has-text selector does not work

[mindplay-dk]

It seems you do have support for the has-text selector?

adblock-rust/tests/unit/filters/cosmetic.rs

Lines 714 to 720 in 1bf068d

	check_procedural(
	".items:has-text(Sponsored)",
	vec![
	CosmeticFilterOperator::CssSelector(".items".to_string()),
	CosmeticFilterOperator::HasText("Sponsored".to_string()),
	],
	);

But this does not seem to work in Brave? Anything with :has-text(...) in it does not seem to parse correctly?

It's incredibly hard to tell what's going on - in the "block element" dialog, there is no indication of whether or not your selector is even valid. You can't tell if your selector has a syntax error, or it just doesn't match any elements. I don't understand how people develop or test filters for this ad blocker? Is this really the best/only tool we have for this?

(I want to block "Reels" on facebook, but there are literally no stable selectors to be had anywhere on the page - every single ID and class name are generated at build-time and will change with their next deployment. The only reasonably stable selector would be a text selector. I know this would have performance implications.)
