It is also impossible to change accounts, or to consult your dashboard on youtube.

Okay so for anyone here experiencing this, can you please provide the following information for me:

  • What OS and Brave version are you using?
  • If you go to youtube.com in a private window do you get the same results?
  • Did Shields up/down make a difference for you?
  • Do you have any extensions installed? If so, does disabling them make any difference?

I personally do not have see this issue on macOS, Windows, iOS or Android, so the more details/information we can get the better.

Win 10 64 Bit [
Version 1.28.105 Chromium: 92.0.4515.131 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Having Eversync, I dont care about cookies and Video DOwnload Helper installed as extensions, disabling makes no difference.

Also, Brave suddendly takes 3 Minutes until I can start it up in windows. No reaction when I click onto its icon. No other program is unresponsive. This is other wise a blazing fast machine.

With shields off, Youtube loads fine.

Considering going back to firefox, never ever had such issues.

-I get the same result in private window
-Shields down made a difference, but I want my shields up. Not down.
-Disabling extensions made no difference.

If this isn’t fixed I’m going back to Chrome.

Looks like someone beat me about 5 minutes to opening a Github issue for this – either way, we’re capturing data on the issue here and are looking into it presently:

Hi, having same problem here. I cannot click on notifications or any other button. Well, I can click, but nothing happens. This is since the latest update from Brave on Linux Mint yesterday.
When I use Google Chrome or any other browser, it works just fine,
So ergo, it MUST be a bug with the latest update of Brave.
If it displays a notification, I click on it, but the menu does not appear, it does remove the notification however.
[edit] The problem persist when using incognito/private mode [/edit]
