Achilles Heel of Brave's anti track features.

Brave’s ability to block third party cookies, tracking, fingerprinting and filtering are super cool. But limitation comes when you use your University Library access on Brave (atleast Android version). Let me take an example of Springer Link. Upon logging in with my University’s Shibboleth access, I was automatically logged out of my institutional login automatically. Few moments later I disabled brave shield for Springer, Shibboleth and my University’s website (all 3). Now finally it’s working fine. But the issue is there is no way to disable Brave shield for all websites for few minutes hence there should be a feature to temporarily disable Brave shield for few minutes like 15 min., 30 min. and 1 hr. This will greatly help. Otherwise Google is tracking my Journal accesses as well. They have some analytics embedded in Springer.

In Royal Society Of Chemistry, I always had an issue with login with my institutional account. Solution: ise Chrome.
Some complicated issue was created in Brave due to blocking and filtering. I disabled brave shield again. And now I was able to access Royal Society Of Chemistry. Otherwise this odd error came.

Issue 2: Similar thing with SeamlessAccess on AIP (AIP.org and pubs.aip.org).
