@xmikew,
So the right-click context menu works in other browsers/on your machine but not in Brave? That seems pretty strange – may have to do with the older OS you’re running but I doubt it. Do you have any extensions installed at this time?

@Mattches yea well it turns out I did some shoddy testing and it was limited to just one website (I don’t frequent many sites on desktop) and I found out for whatever reason this website has disabled right-click menu. I re-enabled it via javascript console and brave works just fine. Sorry for false alarm.

Thanks,

- Mike

After examining the site, it’s wordpress most likely using some “disable content theft” plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-right-click/) - I didn’t know this was a thing.
