Hey there - thanks for the report :slightly_smiling_face:

We did have a problem with our latest nightly; we made a fix with https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/7549 and have a new build for Nightly running now

In the meantime, you might remove Brave Nightly and then re-install. Basically the root of the problem has to do with our upgrade of Chromium 88. Some content settings were removed and we have code that handles this upgrade. Turns out there were some bugs so we backed out the bad versions and will push a new Nightly with the fix soon
