Shields is a global setting, and we don’t know what changes you might have made. That’s why it was asked if you tried adjusting anything—it’s important to rule out settings as a factor. I’m not sure why you’re being so quick to dismiss this possibility.
Different resources load when you refresh. Additionally, Brave randomizes your fingerprint per session, so minor changes in the fingerprint or even specific ads or trackers on the website might be causing the issue.
This is why it’s essential to try basic troubleshooting steps instead of dismissing the suggestions outright.
When you’re the only one reporting this issue and it’s not widely discussed, it often indicates something specific to your settings or device.
Have you updated the app, and does the issue persist?
What happens when you try to load the sites?
Have you tried opening them in a private window?
Have you cleared cookies and cache?
Have you tested this in Brave Beta or Nightly?
To clarify, does this issue only happen when clicking links from other apps? Or does it also occur when clicking links directly in Brave?
this applies to all websites and not specific to any site. basically browser level. and the issue persists when opened via app separately or through webview links from other apps.
i haven’t tried in any version other than stable and my app is updated to latest version.
is there a possibility of me recording the issue and sending as video?
Yeah, but you won’t be able to directly upload here. Just do via a sharing thing. I tend to use YouTube just because it’s easier, but there’s a bunch of options.
