I am one of the users who have multiple tabs opened at all times (currently 75, but the number varies). Each time I turn off my laptop, or close down Brave browser, I am logged out of everything and all the favicons show a gray Earth image. It is annoying and time consuming to click each tab and log in again where I need to. I don’t have much time left in my life and definitely I don’t want to spend the time I have left fixing Brave’s bugs. Yes, I have tried the ctrl+shift+del and I deactivated all that I could there, and it is still doing it. This is enough reason to quit using Brave and move on to another browser.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
Step 1: Click on the X to close the Brave browser
Step 2: Double click on the Brave browser icon on my desktop
Step 3: Getting pissed-off to see that AGAIN Brave browser logged me out of everything
Step 4: Taking pills for my blood pressure which just hit the roof
Step 5-75: Click click click each tab, and logging in wherever I need to.
Step 76: Cussing the devs for making me lose another 30-40 minutes.
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
What are your Shield settings? Do you have it blocking cookies?
Normally I’d make sure you don’t have anything selected to clear on exit, but it looks like you said you tried it. I will just confirm, you unselected everything on all tabs when it opens up? Or at least the On Exit part?
I’ve noticed you have a lot of extensions. If you disable all of them and try the process, does it still happen? Guess wondering if one of them might be doing it somehow.
In the Clear browsing data tab, I have nothing selected. In the Advanced and Basic tabs, I only have “Cached images and files selected” because it wouldn’t let me deselect all.
Usually only other thing that I’ve seen people suggest in troubleshooting is to try it with a New Profile. You could try it but I’m assuming no difference. Uncertain if any program on your computer would be causing an issue.
At this point, is where I tend to tag someone like @Mattches from Brave who knows a lot or I see if one of the active Users here, like @JimB1, who has a lot more knowledge and experience might be able to hop in and have some ideas.
Thank you, but in my case I’m being logged out of ALL services: gmail, facebook, upwork, canva, the sites i’m administrating, the e-shops where I have products in the cart, netflix, dropbox and so on.
@Cristiana That issue report tracks the problem. Even though the title has “some services”, it is for reporting any issues related to services being logged out when they shouldn’t. I will edit the comment and quote you to indicate that you are experiencing the issue with “all” services and not just “some”. This will help the devs when trying to pin down the cause.

You stated that you had nothing selected for Basic and Advanced, but there is also an On exit tab on that same window — can you please double check that you have nothing selected there?
In the Basic and the Advanced tabs, I only have “Cached images and files selected” because it wouldn’t let me deselect them all. In the On exit tab, I have nothing selected.
Nope on all your questions. Thank you for all the efforts though, but this is taking too long to fix and, as I said, I’m running out of time. It would be a lot easier for me to transfer everything to Chrome or FireFox.
