Description of the issue:
When attempting to snooze an email (from within reading view) or multiple emails (even when single email is selected) from list view, the ability to select a specific snooze date and time is not working. The clock symbol can be clicked (or ‘b’ pressed) and the menu is presented. All options work except “Pick date & time” which should generate another window/frame to select the date & time (and does in Chrome), but in Brave nothing happens.

@gmills2822,
Can you tell me what Operating system you’re using? On my end, I’m able to click Pick a date & time and see the second calendar window launch, allowing me to set the snooze date. Note that this happens with Shields set to default settings so I’m not sure why you seem to have to allow Ads/trackers.

Would you mind opening a Private browsing window, login to Gmail and see if you get the same results?

Windows 10 - Auto-updating
Works in Private as expected.

Problem appears to be with VPN (Private Internet Access) which is not enabled in a Private Window. Added gmail to VPN exclude list, and behaves as expected. Not a brave issue.

Apologies.
