Everything about your issue, that you can state in detail, helps Brave Support with the time that they have to consider your issue and situation.

In order for Brave Support to help you, they much prefer that you will use their Report Templates at:

“Support Templates Reference”

  • Bug Reporting Template - Desktop
  • Bug Reporting Template - Mobile (Android / iOS)
  • Bug Reporting Template - Web Compatibility (web pages and sites experience)
  • Brave Rewards/Ads Template (for Ads / BAT / Creators / Payments / Rewards / Wallets)

BEFORE you create a new Topic for your issue, go here:

https://community.brave.com/

Pertaining to your issue, select a category from the ‘all categories’ pop-down menu (example: ‘Browser Support’). The resulting window will currently display seven panels (with explanations) from which to choose. Select the panel that most applies to your issue:

  • Desktop Support
  • Mobile Support
  • Web Compatibility
  • Ad-Blocking
  • Firewall + VPN
  • Sync
  • Brave Wallet (Self Custody)

In the next resulting window, near the top (example:)

all_tags

. . . use the ‘all tags’ pop-down menu, to select an appropriate tag (egs.: “windows” for Windows OS).

THEN click on the + New Topic button.

In the resulting Report Editor window, note that the categories and tag are, as you selected (example:).

categories_and_tag_selected

. . . and a Report Template exists, with respect to the category / categories you selected.

Note, that in your report(s), GIF files and screenshots are helpful and welcome. Describe where in such illustrations, you want to focus the reader’s attention.
