After the new update (20 march 2025) Brave Browser have Alot of bugs.
1.When you just open a new tab then click the old tab that tab will show a blank screen then you have to refresh the whole site again.not the website issue I’ve tried it with many sites and different browsers.because of that bug i even lost many forms half filled state,many codes that didn’t saved etc…
2.the ads.yeah brave used to be the best adblocker.but not right now because many websites surpassed braves Shields and provides ads.if it’s just one site i could’ve provided it’s url.but now all of the websites not even single one is blocking ads.
3..the desktop issue.not a big issue but still when you create a new tab sometimes it become normal and sometimes it becomes desktop.i want them either desktop or normal.
Conclusion:at the last i have to thank you alot for the Brave.not just the perfect user friendly browser but also a Developer lovely browser.as a mobile user brave make things easy for me to code,write,etc…unlike other browsers it’s lagfree and easy interations
Same with the blank pages . So annoying. Also. I had some stupid crap just now where a video id had opened last night on YouTube that was some music I’d been listening to that had native sounds , drum beats and sounds of like , idk how else to describe other than if you imagined some native chief or tribal person doing this deep voiced meditative humming but with sounds of like “ hey ya hey ya hummm hum “ ( sorry .. point is relevant however to my issue 
) but I closed that tab last night. Cleared cache/ history , everything & today I open the phone and suddenly n my headphones I hear this dang loud hey ya hey ya humm hum “ with the drums & flute and bird sounds going on & nearly had a heart attack lol.. ( I’m native & sometimes I like to listen to certain music that’s tribal related here & there as to why the possibly odd content .. )
anyway , I click for my phone to close so it will stop the music, eve. Though I freaking x’d out of that ish last night after stopping the video . Etc. And today it wouldn’t stop playing despite me clicking for phone sceen to close & since videos only ever should keep playing if you have the window opened for media to continue & I didn’t .. I open brave & try to scroll thru pages I had tabs opened in of YouTube vids I wanted to come back & view & everything was blank pages , not loading , no refresh would work , etc. and it occurs a lot . I thought maybe it’s bc I’ve had several pages opened but idk .. anyway , between that and brave search engine being horribly unreliable and containing such little info compared to Google & the way brave will crash or I’ll come back to open tabs of yt videos and there will only be one page with the brave startup , as it just deletes everything I’ve left opened so freaking often - it’s annoying. Also I’ve noticed with the pop ups, and Certain cookie notices , it will still flash them quickly on my screen and they disappear but it’s annoying since my shields are up to prevent that , as I have also pretty much every other shield up for security & privacy etc. too so it’s annoying. Idk why you’d still have ads playing or what site they occur or if it’s all the time no matter what site you’re on but while you may be correct about sites bypassing brave blocking things or preventing them , I don’t wanna be one of those annoying people who suggest the most basic of things where you likely have already checked and done them but I do always still check on the simplest things first and perhaps it could be that your shields are down that prevent the ads maybe ? Idk .. and I also am not extremely up on a good bit of tech related / computer type things so while I’m extremely knowledgeable in a few other specialized / specific areas of knowledge & a huge nerd and always have Bn , computers haven’t been one of those for me haha. I’ve got the basics but there are things within this apps features & options I’ve had to read more about and things I just am not familiar with. So sorry for any unneeded advice lol . Also. Just bc I’ve elaborated on it so deeply , the tribal music just reemerged again despite my having closed every single tab and clearing history and cache etc. actually I use private browsing for additional security so history isn’t supposed to be stored but still. The sounds came back.. this must be how ppl with schizophrenia feel with the unwanted loud audible hallucinations .. my apologies to anyone with that disorder for my bad attempt at humor. no disrespect intended. I feel bad for them.. but yeah , maybe I’ll have to power down my phone to make it stop. Ugh it’s annoying !
@izumie,
First, can you please provide the OS type, device type (if mobile) and Brave version you’re using when you see these issues?
this happens to me sometimes aswell but refreshing the page will solve the blank screen problem😁
