If you are feeling energetic, try . . .

In a Brave Browser > New Window, go to: brave://settings/getStarted

Go to: brave://settings/clearBrowserData

Click on the “Clear data” button.

(The “Clear data” button also saves the selections.)

Hi , thanks for the fast reply , tried both adding cookies and javascript sources allow.
Unfortunately the porblem persist.
The actual correct link where i need to download the .csv files are from this link “https://play.google.com/console/u/0/developers”

NOTE : this problem never happened on older versions of Brave.

@Lohigno

I updated the list of sources.

BTW, to be sure, as a test, a simple text file for you to download. The contents are one word: “test”

testFile.txt (4 Bytes)

[Lohigno]

Thanks again , done all the steps once again one by one from the new source list and all the stuff , the test.txt its downloading , but not the file “.csv” from the https://play.google.com/console/u/0/developers

Hi

@Lohigno
Try downloading the csv file below; If not working through the browser, install the free version of idm internet download manager, go to idm options and add csv extension in file types TAB.

csv file (see image)

I tried downloading my own csv file through brave, result : dangerous file!
I tried downloading my own csv file through idm, result : downloads fine.

Hi.
Thanks for the support , tried downloading your .csv and the browser says its dangerous and cannot choose to keep the file. Downloaded the .zip and was all fine. Using a download manager works.

The problem got fixed itself yesterday 04/06/2022 without doing anything , just uninstalled and done a complete clean-up of the browser and reinstalled , had the same problem for the first few days and now is fixed out of nowhere. Thanks!
