"'Brave Browser' has turned off Reaction effects" notification every time I start a meeting

Be Prepared


Clear cookies, cache, history, etc.

In a Brave Browser New Window, go to:

brave://settings/clearBrowserData

Select the Advanced tab

Set Time range to “All time”

ENABLE everything except:

  • Passwords and other sign-in data

(Myself, I would NOT make that exception)
(because I would have a backup prepared.)
(In other words, be prepared.)

Click on the “Clear data” button


Enable the second of the following:


Test:

  • Brave Browser New Window
  • Brave Browser New Private Window
  • Create a new Brave Browser Profile for testing

When you have more than 1 Brave Browser Profile: DO NOT have windows open for more than 1 Brave Browser Profile.


Tips regarding Brave Shields:

I have more success, with:

  • Brave Shields UP
  • Either Allow All Cookies or Block 3rd Party Cookies, but NOT Blocking All Cookies
  • Allowing JavaScripts from specific sources, but NOT Allowing All JavaScripts
  • Trackers & Ads treatment: Aggressive (at first), and then incrementally relaxing that setting
  • Fingerprinting (aka footprinting) blocking: Strict (at first), and then incrementally relaxing that setting

I almost NEVER use:

  • All of Brave Shields UP
  • All of Brave Shields DOWN

What I do, in order to Allow specific JavaScript sources - an example:

On desktop / laptop computers:

In a Brave Browser New Window, go to:

brave://settings/content/javascript

Scroll down that javascript settings page to Allowed to use javascript

Click the Add button

Enter [*.]website_of_interest.com as the site . . . but do not Enable the following:

  • Current Private session only

Click the Add button

(You would replace the character string, “website_of_interest.com” with your domain of interest.)
