the problem is that on android
if that was on desktop/laptop then you could easily start brave with that flag --no-experiments

so not sure if there away except to clear the app cache which would make you loose all setting bookmarks and bats and much more

do you have any idea how to solve that @Serg

and have a nice day everyone :slight_smile:
