Tested on iPhone 14, iOS 18.5, Brave Browser (iOS) v1.79 (124). Global Brave Shields allowing cookies and Javascript; otherwise Brave Shields UP. Using Private Browsing Only.

No problem.

@Skyler0x not seeing any issues with the site on Android in Brave but I am seeing a different issue on Windows. Looks like after the first attempt (which is successful), I’m unable to select the search field again to enter another location.

When I disable Shields, the site works as expected. Will loop a team member in to take a look at this.

Loading here; Under a VPN it’ll show the USA location, if I allow the location it’ll show the NZ results.

Fixed the top empty space issue on weather.com also.
