I installed in the past WhatsApp Android App on my smartphone and the WhatsApp WebApp on my old Brave browser on Windows. Everything worked fine at this time.
Recently I upgraded Brave to v177 resp. v178 and the troubles begun…
I setup Shields Up Default to always automatically delete all cookies.
Furthermore I defined an exception for WhatsApp (WebApp) domain.
I thought this should be sufficient.
However now I am occasionally asked in Brave for login confirmation to WhatsApp and a QR-Code is presented. Then I always have to scan it with my Whatapp App to really login.
and - very strange - the individual exception in Shields up seems to be removed.
I switch oftentimes between WA usage in Brave Browser and WA App on Android.
I never exit/logged off from WA.
This all never was a problem in former times with last good old Brave versions before v177.
Why does Shields Up not remember my (NOT) “forget” state?
The current handling seems to be pre-alpha maturity level only.
Having unexpected Login confirmation prompts is annoying.
I appreciate Brave very much.
Please verify it.
As a last resort I disabled now Shields Up completely on WhatsApp domain. Lets see if it helps.
