Additional Information:
This is a refression error. I’ve previously reported this: Brave must show the modal popup on https://bibliotheek.be - #2 by fanboynz
and it was promptly fixed! (thanks everybody)

The modal pop-up does show shortly but disappears before one has time to click on it.
I have added lokeren.bibliotheek.be as a site that is allowed to show pop-ups:

But the cookies pop-up still disappears before one gets a chance to click on it, and the page blocks…

So unfortunately I’m still obliged to use another browser when checking the library (‘bibliotheek’ :slightly_smiling_face:)

Please tell me that there is some (temporary) workaround so that I con use Brave to surf to lokeren.bibliotheek.be
I must somhow avoid that the modal dialog gets dismissed before I can click it.
Is there any setting to acjieve this?

@guivho yeah I see what you’re seeing. It looks like the pop-up is the cookie consent notice that many sites show these days. It looks like Brave’s Shields are blocking the notice from appearing but only cosmetically.

Going to rope in @fanboynz for this as he should be able to submit a fix for this.

It’s even worse than I realized. I kept getting Cloudfare ‘Prove that you’re human’ pages whenever i clicked a link from a mailing list of standaard.be, a newspaper I have a paid subscription for. I got these Cloudfare pages while I was’t logged in to standaard.be. And I can’t login while the popup doesn’t show. Which I didn’t realize. But this caused the Cloudfare pages, and I can’t avoid these while I can’t login.
It’s difficult to explain on this list, but try to defend Brave to your surrounding when this situation is bothering you…

I just upgraded to the (new) latest version:

I’ve been too fast to declare this solved.
The problem I described on Jun 17 with the Cloudfare pages was gone, so i was so happy to report this. But it’s back…
And the bibliotheek.be problem is also still there

While waiting for a Brave solution, I used a Chrome extension to export the missing cookies from Chrome and import them into Brave. So I can now again use Brave to consult https://lokeren.bibliotheek.be and the Brave solution is less urgent as far as I am concerned. I’ll use this same work-around for any other sites that have this problem in Brave.

@Mattches @fanboyzn Any schedule for a fix?
