There are now 12 Mullvad issues, since year 2020:
–
May interest:
‘DNS leak when Brave browser configured to use a SOCKS5 proxy server!’

Brave Search (beta) means to me, using:
. . . and the Search field (ie the Search Box) instead of the URL address field. (I never use the URL address field.)
I tested getting to and using:
via a Brave Browser >
- New Private Window
- New Private Window with Tor
I used for search criteria: ‘Mullvad VPN blocks Brave Search’
Reached Brave Search via both, but discovered that, when using Tor, I encountered a test:
I closed the New Private Window with Tor, and then tried it again. The second attempt did NOT include the robot test.

Clear DNS cache:
Using a Brave Browser > New Window, go to: brave://net-internals/#dns
- Click on:
Clear host cache
Close idle sockets and Flush socket pools:
Go to: brave://net-internals/#socket
- Click on:
Close idle sockets - Click on:
Flush socket pools
Exit / Quit Brave Browser.
Restart your computing device.

Notes re what are:
DNS cache:
Socket pool:
With pooling, instead of closing a connection after it is used, we can keep it idle while it waits to handle another request. This saves the resources required to create a new connection.

Otherwise - Extensions tests:
- Disable
- Remove
- One-at-a-time
- Combinations
Other applications, add-ons, plug-ins that are anti-virus and/or blockers.
