@Bilibox,
I think this is actually a Netflix issue – but I assume you were signed out during the un/reinstall. Did you also delete the data in the ~/AppData/Local/BraveSoftware directory?

@Mattches
Yes.
I had tried deleting that folder and letting it populate again before uninstalling and it didnt work. When I uninstalled I went through and cleaned everything out before reinstalling it.

It’s odd though that it works on the same Chrome version. It used to work before but suddenly stopped working ~1-2 weeks ago.
