I just created an account and logged into it with no issues.
Have you tried changing Shields settings for the site? (Mine are at defaults – not the ‘aggressive’ setings,)
If you go to brave://settings/shields/filters and ‘Show full list,’ is anything checked there? Or, anything populated into either of the ‘Custom’ sections?
You can try that, but there might be a few other things you can more easily try first.
Does the issue occur if you create a new profile and try it in that profile? (Make sure your original profile does not have any open windows; only the new profile should be open.)
Also, some other threads (references below) seem to indicate that clearing cookies for the site, or perhaps more thoroughly, using ‘Reset settings,’ might solve the issue. Seems this has affected some random folks.
This happened to me again, after a couple weeks of working fine. A reset settings has fixed it, of course that has ruined all the work I did configuring all my websites to suit my preferences and styles. Combined with brave deciding to flag me for possible ad abuse(?!?), this is becoming quite the hassle!
If you don’t mind, what were your Shields settings set to originally (when you were having issues)?
There are some folks in the GitHub issue who say that turning Shields ON (I guess they initially had them off), plus clearing the site cookies, resolved it. I guess if it does happen again for someone, it may be worth at least trying that (or toggling Off and then On, if already enabled) first as it would be less disruptive than the full Reset Settings. And perhaps also try increasing the individual Shields settings, even if escalating them seems counter-intuitive.
While fully resetting settings fixed the issue, next time I would try clearing onlytwitch.tv data first before doing the full data reset (to avoid having to reconfigure everything).
@greymane,
Worth checking just in case. Will forward this to the team to review but it does appear to be profile related. If this happens again, please try @JimB1’s suggestion above and try creating a new browser profile and see if you get the same behavior there.
