Description of the issue:
Recently installed Ubuntu 24.04.1 on a new machine. After the clean install I installed Brave through the Ubuntu/Snap “App Center”.
After singning into all of my usual web services: email, password manager, etc. and verifying they all worked, I exited Brave through the menu.
Later when I started Brave back up all of my tabs opened, but I had been logged out of every single website. Even my Sync said I was not in any sync chain!! I’m guessing all of the cookies were deleted?
After trying many things offered on the web regarding this, I tried uninstalling Brave and starting over. I also tried deleting the cache files under /home/myname/snap/brave and starting brave up clean.
Nothing solved the issue. Finally I gave up, uninstalled Snap-Brave and reinstalled Brave via the apt/keyring supplied on the Brave website for standard Linux installer: Debian, Ubuntu, Mint. That version seems to work.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
Install Brave through Snap on Ubuntu 24.04.1. I cannot confirm any other versions as I only have tested the latest Ubuntu.
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
Sorry, did’t take the time to take screen shots, and I won’t install it again.
Expected result:
I should NOT be logged out of Sync and all web services after closing Brave browser and re-opening it.
Reproduces how often:
Every time, after a half a dozen attempts I gave up.
Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
Additional Information:
Searching for this on Google/whatever is made more difficult becuase the word “snap” has another meaning for Chromium/Brave!
