@SkiBumPMC go to Settings → Shields → Content Filtering and on the Create custom filters portion put xfinity.com##+js(brave-fix) and it will fix it for now. Eventually @fanboynz or others will update the filters so doesn’t need to be manually input.
@SkiBumPMC Typically, you don’t need EasyListCookie or Fanboy’s Mobile Notifications. You should have Fanboy's Annoyances + uBO Annoyances enabled, though—I hope they’ll make that a default eventually.
Even if I disable that filter, it works. But having xfinity.com##+js(brave-fix) seems absolutely necessary.
Not sure if fanboynz has had a chance to follow up yet—maybe they’re busy with other issues like YouTube changes. I’ll tag @steeven and @Mattches to get their attention and hopefully get this resolved for everyone.
This does not work for everyone and I can’t figure out why. This is killing me because I refuse to install another browser just to stream. I’ve tried adding this, even tried different varitions including extra pound signs www. /stream, nothing works!!! I even downgraded to the previous stable version and that didnt help. I also just enabled that extra filter group with no luck. Also just changed the only 2 settings agressive and strict from the helpful Info to no avail.
@Speedlife808 are you using any extensions? If so, do a favor and test in private window or a guest profile. Other thing, though it didn’t make a difference on my end, do you have Widevine enabled from Settings → Extensions?
In the meanwhile, I’ve tagged in people from Brave and we just kind of have to wait for them to reply back on what they are seeing.
In preparation for that question lol I just disabled everything and tried again with no success. Cleared my cookies for the site too. I’m trying everything I can think of. Widevine is enabled as well.
I will say this you are the man with the WIN! I don’t know what it is about my profile, but if they were to use a guest profile I would say they too would have success. What it is about our current profiles is another matter of discussion, but for the interim you have brought xfinity back into my life lol
Edit: Also works creating a new profile which confirms its definitely something within my current profile.
Ok I had always kept shields down so I’m guessing the xfinity.com##+js(brave-fix) entry wasn’t being used. Once I re-enabled Shields on xfinity.com it works again. Strange as it seems with Shields down that it wouldn’t be needed but it works and keeps me from using another browser. Thanks for the help.
@fostermd70 nah, it’s a Shields script to make things work. Basically what is happening is Xfinity is intentionally trying to block Brave from working on their site. The ##+js(brave-fix) part basically bypasses their script trying to block the browser.
