I have to login to all my sites again every time I open Brave Browser

I have to login to all my sites again every time I open Brave Browser. Reddit, Gmail, Ebay etc

I checked the ON EXIT settings at brave://settings/clearBrowserData and it is NOT set to clear cookies on exit.

Any help please??

theMezz,

There are three tabs for the “Clear browsing data” window (I am using a Mac) at “brave://settings/clearBrowserData”:

Basic
Advanced
On exit

For the Basic tab, ENABLE all three:

Browsing history
Cookies and other site data
Cached images and files

Set Time range to All time

Click on the Clear data button.

–

Next, for each of the three tabs (Basic, Advanced, On exit), DISABLE EVERYTHING

–

Now go to

brave://settings/shields

Set Trackers & ads blocking to DISABLED

Set Upgrade connections to HTTPS to DISABLED

Set Block scripts to ENABLED (Yes, that is ENABLED)

Set Cookie blocking to Only cross-site

Set Fingerprinting blocking to Standard

–

Quit Brave. Start Brave.

Pick 2 or 3 of the most troublesome websites. Log in to each website, via a New Window (NOT with a “New Private Window”). You are testing via a new window for each website.

Quit Brave. Start Brave.

What is the result? Are you still logged in to any of the 2 or 3 most troublesome websites?

PS.

A website that is earnestly interested in YOUR SAFETY, will NOT require you to have [somehow] enabled:

Cross-site Cookies
Fingerprinting aka footprinting

IF . . .

You find that you still have to log in for all 2 or 3 of the test websites, then repeat the above steps . . . BUT, Set Block scripts to DISABLED . . . and test logins, again.

At last . . .

Once you complete your testing, return settings to where you think they are best for you.
