Some Pages are not opening in Brave

I have issues when trying to open some web pages in Brave:
I’ve tried all the recommendations I could find here: deleted Brave, reinstalled it. I’ve unistalled Antivirus, I’ve closed Shields, deactivated all the extensions. Hard reset, deleted cache, temporary files etc.
Still not working.

Could be an Windows 11 issue? I have same issue with Google Chrome, Firefox.

Skipping over this part that I wrote, earlier . . .

I ran a PING test (ping -c 3 haha.me), and results were OK:

In general, website info looks healthy and not harmful:

At https://urlquery.net/report/d5bee957-d456-4f43-adce-748022cef076


At: https://www.wmtips.com/tools/info/haha.me


So, I visited https://www.haha.me/ and allowed javascripts (Site-Specific Brave Shields - click icon at upper right corner of BB window) for the website and for youtube.com. Result:

Using old MacBook Pro (MacOS 10.12.6 Sierra), Brave Browser (old version), Private Window(s). GLOBAL Shields setting: Block JavaScript is ENABLED.

Are you able to reach almost all other websites?

If you are able - with all browsers - to reach other websites, there may be

  • DNS issue specific re website of interest
  • IP address (or a range of IP addresses) issue - somewhere
  • firewall issue
  • VPN connection issue
  • proxy issue somewhere
  • Windows OS issue(s)

If you enter the URL address (https://www.haha.me/) into the search field (NOT into the URL address field) at Startpage:

https://www.startpage.com/

in the result, click on Visit in Anonymous View

Do you at least get to view the website?


Hi,
I have the same issue :frowning: My “wrong” page is for example: https://focus.sk It loads without problems in other browsers.

Do you at least get to view the website?

… No, I don´t in Brave, but it loads without problems in other browsers.

@Emir

The actual URL address is http://focus.sk/

Using a Brave Browser New Window, go to brave://settings/shields
