@Brave_user,
Can you tell me what type of device you’re using? Also, do you have Regional Ad-block enabled in Settings --> Privacy --> Regional Adlbock ?

I have mentioned the two devices I tried in the bug report: SM-P900 and SM-J500FN. That would be a Samsung Galaxy Note Pro and a Samsung Galaxy J5.

I have tried all issues with the shields completely off and on. There was no difference in the behavior.

Chrome (same Chromium version as Brave) works without problems. So it is definitely something Brave related.

Tried a clean install on one device: 1.0.89 works. 1.0.90 does not work.

New release 1.0.90 rc2 solved the issue.
