Brave Shield does not activate automatically

Hello everyone!

I recently realized that the shield does not activate automatically when I enter in a new site, I need to activate it manually. But when I go back to some site that I activated before, it is still active. I’m using the default Shields settings. Can anyone help me?

Brave version: v1.42.88

** I’m sorry for any grammatical errors.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi. This issue was fixed in a previous release. Posting information below. Do not know why it is popping up again for you. You should try the workaround and see if that fixes the issue for you. If not, there are other things you can try.

Workaround: Settings --> History —> Clear browsing data --> Advanced , selecting Site and Shields settings (for all time) and relaunch the browser

Please post an update.
