I am NOT an expert, re Brave Rewards, Gemini, and Uphold. I may EDIT / UPDATE the following information, at any time - as I learn more.

The following is an initial attempt to remove obstacles and improve Internet / network communications, between a Brave Rewards user’s Brave Browser installation . . . and:

  • Brave Rewards functions that are parts of the Brave Browser installation
  • Gemini
  • Uphold

Given that the Brave Browser installation is on any of Linux / Mac / Windows computers.

Detailed Verification Guidance for both Gemini and Uphold - the info is at their websites - is referenced at the end of the following info/steps. IF a problem is actually at, or suspected of being at, Gemini or Uphold, then you might scroll down and consult that guidance, first.

–

All of this, requires careful reading and study of the steps, plus the routines for verification at Gemini and Uphold.

You may find value in the reading and study, and otherwise stick with adjusting only the site-specific Shields (Lion icon) panel at the right end of the URL address field.

These steps assume that you normally have / leave Shields UP.

These steps assume that you will use a Brave Browser > New Private Window in order to connect to:

  • Gemini
  • Uphold

The selections of sources for Cookies and JavaScripts, are the result of monitoring Internet / network communications with Gemini, Uphold, and GlobalID (used by Uphold).

Again, I am not an expert; and, I do not have accounts at Gemini nor Uphold; but, I wondered what I would do, if I did have accounts:

–

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

Go to tab Advanced

  • Set ‘Time range’ to: All time
  • DISABLE: Site and Shields Settings

Enable or Disable any other settings, in that window, as you may.

Click on the “Clear data” button.

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

–

In a Brave Browser > New Window, return to: brave://settings/clearBrowserData

Go to tab On exit and DISABLE: Site and Shields Settings

Enable or Disable any other settings, in that window, as you may.

Click on the “Clear data” button.

–

In a Brave Browser > New Window, return to: brave://settings/clearBrowserData

Go to tab Basic - and:

  • Set ‘Time range’ to: All time
  • Enable: Browsing history
  • Enable: Cookies and other site data (Signs you out of most sites)
  • Enable: Cached images and files

Click on the “Clear data” button.

Restart Brave Browser.

–

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

Scroll down that settings page, to Sites that can always use cookies

Click the Add button

Enter [*.]brave.com:443 as the site, but Do Not Enable:
