Description of the issue:
Most images and many divs that are part of New York Times articles are no longer rendering. I thought perhaps they had changed their layout, but then when I started seeing some very odd things (e.g. in specific image captions without images) I thought to render the same page with Firefox, and OMG!! Half of the page isn’t showing up for me!!
Exact URL of the website in question:
Here’s the page I used for testing:
Did the issue present with default Shields settings? (yes/no)
Yes
Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off?
No
Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no):
No
Does the site work as expected when using Chrome?
Yes
Brave version (check About Brave
):
Version 1.27.87 Chromium: 91.0.4472.124 (Official Build) unknown (64-bit)
I used to stay very current but then got busy and it was a long while. So I thought they had redesigned their site–no comments anymore on their editorial articles, odd looking “zombie captions” in the middles of articles.
Once I loaded the page (example given above) in Firefox, and then in Chrome, I see that this is an issue just with Brave. It’s a showstopper.
Cleared cookies and cache, made no difference. Shields up or down, makes no difference.
