I think we have all experienced this when trying to watch video hosted with Vimeo.
Sorry
Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here.
But I can’t set up a good solution for this.
If I set configure the Shield for the current to accept all cookies the Vimeo player look begin to play the video. But that isn’t a durable solution - because guess what is also following along - a bunch a cookies that shouldn’t be allowed.
So I then reset the Shield to block third-party cookies go into the settings brave://settings/content/cookies and set to always allow [*.]vimeo.com and [*.]player.vimeo.com clear all browser data, restart the browser. But Vimeo is still blocked.
Is there a way to allow certain cookies on certain websites? The Shield won’t let me unblock cookies as I can with scripts. And whatever does into settings have no effect.
Do you have a sample video (or a few?) where this error message appears? and which country region are you viewing from? Went through through a few videos, no error messages so far.
So in order to view to the video you need to allow Vimeo to set cookies. And there is the problem, since Brave wont allow you to specific / allow a certain third-party site to set cookies. It is either block all third-party cookies (with no exception) or allow all (which is nuts :D).
And when Brave Shields isn’t honouring exceptions added to chrome://settings/content/cookies you can’t really do anything about this.
Interesting, if you view the vimeo video directly does it still play? Also is there another sample site where this happens (another vimeo embedded site?)
Okay, wasn’t possible to view it directly (I checked). If it occurs from another site, add this this thread / or link to this one / create a report. Not sure if its filter related just yet, but worth investigating imo.
