A network solution that worked for one BB user:
Do not deny the following possible sources of cookies/javascripts:
cdnjs.cloudflare.comcf-assets.www.cloudflare.comchallenges.cloudflare.comcloudflare.comcommunity.cloudflare.comdevelopers.cloudflare.comembed.cloudflarestream.comiframe.cloudflarestream.commozilla.cloudflare-dns.comot.www.cloudflare.comstatic.cloudflareinsights.comwww.cloudflare.com
And do not have some firewall block any; and do not have your “hosts” file blocking any.
Study the CAPTCHA issues at:
Version 1.76.47 Chromium: 133.0.6943.27 (Official Build) beta cannot load hCaptcha
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-and-Cloudflare communal whatever (it varies, depending upon the website and its association with Cloudflare).
Sometimes, the website serves the visitor’s Internet browser; but sometimes, a Cloudflare webserver does the serving.
Anyway, I recommend the slow approach.
