DNS over HTTPS doesn't work anymore on Brave Desktop

@Tiak

Try . . . for every Brave Browser profile that you have

In a Brave Browser > New Window, go to: brave://settings/shields

Next, go to: brave://settings/security

  • DISABLE: Always use secure connections (HTTPS ONLY toggle switch)
  • Disable: Use secure DNS

Next, in the ‘Brave-Browser’ folder or its sub-folder ‘User Data’ folder, at:

  • C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\

. . . locate the ‘oofiananboodjbbmdelgdommihjbkfag’ folder and move that folder to your Windows OS Desktop.

That ‘oofiananboodjbbmdelgdommihjbkfag’ folder, is for the HTTPS Everywhere Updater and represents the HTTPS EVERYWHERE component.

Next, Exit / Quit everything and restart your computer. A new ‘oofiananboodjbbmdelgdommihjbkfag’ folder will be created by Brave Browser, when you start up Brave Browser.

When you are ready, then return to: brave://settings/security

  • Enable: Use secure DNS

and test.

You might look around the: brave://chrome-urls/#internals
