With your object enabled, select the Support Eraser tool. Now click on an area of the object which you don't want to be supported.
A cube will appear on that part of the model. Using the regular translate and scale tools you can move that cube around if it did not end up in the expected area you clicked.

Hi and welcome,
Don't be embarrassed :)
I didn't try it yet in the new 3.3 cura but usually you would create a cube and place it where you don't want support to be generated (overlap the parts of the model with the anti-overhang mesh).
For it to work you of course need to activate supports for the regular model

I did a tutorial about this feature (as it was in older version already)
The workflow is a bit different but it should be usefull i think

Thanks for this, BUT: How do I create these blocks to use as a support blocker?
Please don't get mad at me, but I think documentation of CURA does not meet any standards as I cannot find any comprehensive manual, which is bad. Also adding new features to software simply calls for a clear description if you do not want users to think that you don't respect their lifetime they have to invest to understand the new feature without help from the manufacturer. As I am used to self learn, I have tried for some hours to find a solution - wasted hours stolen from my life and my familiy...
And as an afterthought wouldn't it be more user friendly to 'simply' enable the user to draw a support blocker layer in the layer view?
