Description of the issue:
Brave browser is deemed ‘unsupported’ or ‘out-of-date’ by certain websites. Previously I encountered this problem mainly with privacy-unfriendly websites such as those owned or hosted by Google LLC, Alphabet Inc and Facebook Inc, but now it has started making its way over to websites like archive.today.
When I try to visit any of the archive.today mirrors (including their onion mirrors via Brave’s Tor-mode), I get the following screen:
Exact URL of the website in question:
- archive.today
- archive.is
- archive.vn
- archive.md
- archive.li
- archive.fo
- archive.ph
- archivecaslytosk.onion
- archiveiya74codqgiixo33q62qlrqtkgmcitqx5u2oeqnmn5bpcbiyd.onion
Did the issue present with default Shields settings?
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.
No
Does the site work as expected when using Chrome?
Supposedly, but I don’t know. Maybe somebody who has Chrome can verify, because I’m not installing that spyware to find out.
Brave version:
Brave 1.13.82, Chromium: 85.0.4183.83 (Official Build) (64-bit)
