Retired Content (Char Limit/Obsolete): Shields Breaking Text/Font Workaround
ISSUE: Shields breaking text/fonts on some websites
Fixed: Brave Release 1.39.120
Workaround: Disable Block fingerprinting at brave://settings/shields
Source: Brave Shields Affecting Fonts
**Update: holdit commented
Even if block fingerpriting is set to “strict”, fonts work fine if the “Prevent sites from fingerprinting me based on my language preferences” option is disabled.
