Hi Austin2,
Thanks for your post. I wanted to add that I resolved the “resolving host” issue, but not in the way I would have wanted. It turned out that my modem/router was the problem, and as soon as I replaced it the problem went away.
I did check out your find: brave://net-internals/#dns It does go to a page where you can clear the cache. I didn’t try it yet, but it looks like that’s how it’s done in Brave.
Thanks again.
