Please edit your Original Post (“OP”) above, in order to include:

  • Brave Browser version numbers
  • Operating System (“OS”) version numbers
  • Computing device - description/info

Possibly, the ad-blocking needs attention. Meanwhile …

Study how to use Brave Shields:

IF you are using Brave Browser for desktop/laptop computers:

Try: An on-demand update check of the Brave Browser installed components. Visit brave://components/ in Brave, go down the list and press all of the “Check for update” buttons.


When you visit a website and have some trouble, try:

  1. Click the “tune” icon located immediately adjacent to the left end of the URL address field - example: tuneicon
  2. Check the pop-down menu.
  3. Click on Reset permissions
  4. Reload the webpage.
  5. Click the “tune” icon again.
  6. In the pop-down menu, verify that JavaScript is Enabled.

You might create a new Brave Browser user profile (Menu --> More tools --> Add profile) for testing. When creating this new Brave Browser user profile, try to keep it simple:

  • Do not import anything.
  • Do not add any extensions.
  • Do not allow/enable any Brave Browser “bells and whistles” such as Brave Rewards, Brave Talk, etc.

Suggest that after you create that new user profile, Exit / Quit everything and restart the computer … and then choose the new user profile for testing.


PS. Visited site with a desktop computer:

Fix will be out in a few hours
