And to repeat from what I had on that Reddit:
Guarantee you 100% that your issue is one of the following:
- Your Shields settings is blocking cookies or set to do something like Forget me when I close this site
- You have On Exit stuff enabled under Clear Browsing Data
- You have selected some setting under On-Device Site Data, such as
Delete data sites have saved to your device when you close all windows- You have an extension that blocks or clears cookies, cache, or whatever.
- You have a 3rd party program like CCleaner, Avast Cleaner, or any number of other things which attempts to free up space on your device and tends to clear cookies and other data
- You are opening in private/incognito window, maybe launching private by default, which would automatically clear all cookies and all when you exit the browsing session.
OR-
- It’s not literally logging you out of everything and it’s only certain websites like banks, which are logging you out because of their own security features. Many secure sites will clear if your fingerprint isn’t the exact same, your IP changes, or they may just automatically have cookies expire after a certain timeframe.
Then in terms of checking the second profile, gave the following:
To troubleshoot this issue, try creating a second browser profile. Here’s how:
- Open the hamburger menu (☰).
- Select More tools > Add new profile.
This creates a fresh profile with default settings and no extensions. However, note that changes made to
brave://flagsand any custom filter rules in Shields will carry over.Once the new profile is set up, don’t modify anything. Simply visit some or all of the sites you’re experiencing issues with.
- If the new profile works without logging you out, it likely confirms the problem is caused by an extension or a setting in your original profile.
And the replies on that were like below:
