Scrolling Screenshot (native feature of Android 12) no longer works in Brave browser’s latest release. It worked fine until ~1-2 weeks ago.
To see the issue:
Visit a webpage in brave browser on a phone with Android 12.
Take a screenshot and click “capture more” when the screenshot preview shows up.
The resulting page is mostly blank
After clicking “Capture More” the screenshot SHOULD contain all the page contents (text/images), just like it used it. The latest version of Chrome continues to work without any issues, on the exact same pages.
Brave Version 1.39.115
Pixel 3XL on Android 12 (no longer receiving OS updates, so the issue is with Brave, not the OS).
@PleaseSolveMyProblem,
Thank you for reaching out.
First of all, I actually was not aware that this particular feature existed and I find it super useful — so on a personal note, thank you for telling me about it!
That being said, it does appear to work for me without any issue. I’ve included a couple of test screen shots below:
Can you tell me whether or not this occurs for all websites or if it is just specific websites where this feature doesn’t work? I do find it quite strange that it’s not working in Brave specifically, considering it is an OS feature.
Not sure why this would be the case but can you try doing this with Shields down for the site, just to test and see if for some reason Shields is causing some conflict here?
Just tested. With shields down, Wall Street journal and LA times work. New York times still doesn’t… I even tried logging out, and then turning off shields. Thus, you should be able to replicate.
In addition, the original site that I use it for most often (niche professional subscription site - thus left it out when I reported) still doesn’t work with shields down.
I could probably try a few more sites and find additional examples if helpful.
