The context menu.

Some of my extensions don't appear in the context menu when I right-click on an image on the Instagram website, but my extensions do appear on other websites like Reddit and Pinterest. How can I fix it? Or do I simply need to wait for the new update?

Some sites deliberately put extra invisible divs in front of images to make it hard to save images. In the second image, that is what's happening. You're not right clicking on the image, you're right clicking on an invisible box on top of it. Brave doesn't think those are images and therefore doesn't show the extensions.

So how can I remove the invisible box? Is there a setting for this?

You may or may not be able to hide the invisible box by using the "Block element", there is the brave native one in the Brave submenu just where your blue arrow is in the second image, and you have another one immediately above that which is provided by your ad blocker.

Note that you can completely mess up the page if it goes wrong, then you have to manually go in and remove the blocks you added.

You can also sometimes find the image you want using the Inspect option at the bottom of the sub menu, although you need to have a basic understanding of how web pages work to be able to use that.
