Example of a good report:
How to stop the settings cog wheel icon from disappearing in Brave?
Such organized reports, help Brave Support to more carefully and quickly determine how to proceed, instead of their having to stop and study: trying to break down a report that is not structured as they prefer . . . into pieces, so they can follow steps and see what happened, when, and where . . . and are thereby constructing the report into the form they need . . . instead of the original author doing that work.
Do not sweat it; just apply your self to the form that they prefer.
Your current description, “My MacOS is new” could mean, that you or somebody installed a “fresh” version of MacOS on a Mac that could run that version.
You would help Brave Support by providing info from your Mac computer’s overview. Up in the left-hand corner of your Mac’s display, click on the Apple icon and select “About this Mac”.
Helpful info:
- Version of your MacOS
- Model of your Mac computer
- Graphics
Please do not provide a screenshot of that whole “About this Mac” window. (IOW, DO NOT provide any name of partitions/drives, nor your computer’s serial number.)
Best way, in my opinion, of providing the Brave Browser Version, is for you, in a Brave Browser New Window, go to:
brave://version
Provide the first four lines of info:
- Brave
- Revision
- OS
- JavaScript
The OS will somewhat match what you provided in the previous request of mine.
So, overall, the info lets us know more precisely, what we might expect to find and where . . . and therefore, helps Brave Support to ask more precise questions.
Because, from my point of view, so far, what you have provided, sounds like the Mac computer is not new, and the MacOS installation was made to improve/upgrade the Mac’s operation.
In that kind of refreshment of the system, easier to understand that some lingering “thing” could be processing a scheduled task . . . leading to Brave Browser visiting the reddit website, much to your surprise.
