My screen recording of a movie was wrecked because brave put out a message on the screen about a new version of brave being available. This message was not recognized as a “notification” by macos so was allowed to show up on the screen. For my usage, this is just as bad as an ad showing up & is very annoying. Perhaps you can add to brave preferences an option to disable such messages, or put them somewhere other than on the screen.
thx.
Description of the issue: How can this issue be reproduced?
@byeats,
I’m sorry – do you know where and how this notification appeared? To my knowledge, we do not send out push notifications or alerts when there is a browser update available. Instead, you’ll see the main menu icon change to a green, yellow, or red arrow, which indicates that there is a new update available:
I was on-screen recording an opera from the Paris opera house. About 90 minutes into it, a message appeared on top of part of the video telling me about a new version of brave & giving me the version number. It definitely came from brave, I’m guessing it is not what Apple calls a notification since I had turned those off. Whatever it was, it came from Brave and it would be a pain for me to try to defend against it-- probably couldn’t. Is there anything you or I could do?
That screenshot opportunity is long gone. Next time it happens I’ll capture it.The brave version running when the problem happened is the one just before the current version.
I had a previous discussion of a problem with you, some of which is described below. It ended with me saying that if it happened again I would take a full screen picture of the brave notification of a new version that automatically shows up (now attached below). When this occurs during an on-screen video recording session, the video is wrecked-- the same as if an ad popped up. You’ve got to stop this or add a preference to allow disabling such automatic pop-ups. I’m on macos running mojave, and brave version Version 1.7.98 Chromium: 81.0.4044.113 (Official Build) (64-bit) .
