Description of the issue:
When I navigate to a website that has embedded tweets. the actual tweet does not appear. Only the text and a link to the tweet. If I use Chrome or Edge, the embedded tweet shows up as expected How can this issue be reproduced?
1.Go to https://twitchy.com/ and open up one of the headline items
2.Here is a screen shot of what I see:
Brave Version( check About Brave):
1.16.76, Chromium 86.0.4240.198 (64-bit) Additional Information:
Shields are complete down for this website, and the setting for “Allow Twitter embedded tweets” is turned on
FYI, this works fine in the Android version on my LG smartphone. That one is version 1.16.75, Chormium 86.0.4240.193
It seems to load up fine for me. Your first screenshot looks like that’s a default view, but for me your correct view then loads up after a second or two…
I found the source of my problem. For some reason, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials was blocking the display of embedded tweets. Once I removed the extension, they displayed as expected. Not sure if there’s a setting to prevent this, but for now, I’m not using it.
good on you for finding the issue… the only thing might suggest is combing through the extension’s preferences to see if there is a setting to not do that…
edit: there is the setting in DDG settings… If you ungrey the switch in the screenshot you should be back to your tweeing ways…
