Enable Javascript to continue the search while trying Google searches

[alessandroco]

Dear Forum,

Description of the issue:

My default search engine is Google but I can’t use it. Almost any time a word is being searched, Brave displays the Google page: “Enable JavaScript to continue the search”.

But the Brave Shield is OFF for Google, for the other sites I use the Shield “aggressive” setup.
Have you ever noticed that?
Thanks

How can this issue be reproduced?

1. Random searches on google are redirected to the page: “Enable Javascript to continue the search”
2. Only way to fixit is to close and re-open the Brave App

Expected result:

1. Not expecting to be redirected on the page “Enable Javascript to continue the search”

Brave Version:

v1.75 (179)

Mobile Device details

Apple iPhone XS Max iOS 18.3.1

I occasionally run into that “Enable Javascript to continue the search”, and I enable JavaScript for the specific site.

Sometimes I have to reload and do that again (such as, at X.com), but eventually I can proceed.

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
