Does DeepSeek contain malicious malware?

I am using the Brave web browser, which has a Shield Mode feature designed to prevent malicious activity on websites. However, when I tried to access DeepSeek, a Chinese AI similar to ChatGPT, it displayed a warning: 'Your adblocker is on (AdGuard/AdBlock/uBlock). Please disable it for proper use.' Is it necessary for AI services like DeepSeek to require disabling adblockers, or could this indicate potentially harmful scripts?
