I can open Skype on my other windows computer though. And on Chrome on the Mac just not on Brave- have rebooted the computer, updated brave etc… still the same issue.
Please if someone can assist. Regards

Be sure that Brave Browser is not blocking:
And also be sure, that BB is allowing both as sources for cookies and javascripts.
Tips regarding Brave Shields:
I have more success, with:
Brave Shields UP
Either Allow All Cookies or Block 3rd Party Cookies, but NOT Blocking All Cookies
Allowing JavaScripts from specific sources, but NOT Allowing All JavaScripts
Trackers & Ads treatment: Aggressive (at first), and then incrementally relaxing that setting
Fingerprinting (aka footprinting) blocking: Strict (at first), and then incrementally relaxing that setting
I almost NEVER use:
All of Brave Shields UP
All of Brave Shields DOWN
In other words, I “inch my way along” . . . trying to find what satisfies the website. I recommend the slow approach.
Study:

@Creed ,
Can you clarify whether or not you’re seeing the issue only when you try to actually use Skype or is it simply trying to land on the skype.com page?

The above error occurs when i go to the skype page - www.skype.com
Have you tried clearing site data for skype.com ? Quickest way to do this is to visit skype.com , click the “tune” icon on the left side of the address bar, then Site Settings --> Delete data
.
Refresh the page and test again.

Hi, tried this and it didnt work… thanx though
@Creed can you please try going (in Brave) to Menu --> More tools --> Open Guest profile
and test to see if you can reach/use Skype in the guest profile?

Hi, tried that - guest profile opens… (looks like private browsing) … went to skype and still the same error.
