I’m accessing this URL( chrome-extension://pkehgijcmpdhfbdbbnkijodmdjhbjlgp/data/web_accessible_resources/redirect.html?url=https://google.com ), which is blocked by Brave. I have totally no idea which part of Brave blocked it. Here’s snapshot of Network pane of F12 tool (DevTools) [brave-3] Brave…

I’m just opening the exact URL in the OP. To be more specific, the extension (Privacy Badger) somehow managed to hijack all searches (when user type some word in the address bar and press enter) to their redirect page. And this behavior seems to be blocked in Incognito window only. To make debugging…

@buns2 chrome-extension://pkehgijcmpdhfbdbbnkijodmdjhbjlgp/data/web_accessible_resources/redirect.html . . . is a resource URL address WITHIN a Chrome extension. That extension’s extension ID is possibly: pkehgijcmpdhfbdbbnkijodmdjhbjlgp, and possibly you can find whichever extension that is, by…

I definitely know it is a page managed by some extension. What do you want to find in Manage extensions? And how come Brave blocks a pure local page?

@buns2 As I wrote in my previous reply : “possibly you can find whichever extension” . . . is using a link that Brave Browser, or something else, is somehow blocking. Please edit your Original Post (“OP”) above , in order to include: Brave Browser version numbers Operating System version numbers …

Okay I see. I did even tought of it, cuz: One can easily find which extension it is by accessing Chrome Extension Web Store with the extension id https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/privacy-badger/pkehgijcmpdhfbdbbnkijodmdjhbjlgp Does it matter which extension it is? Anyway, how come Brave …

[image] buns2: how come Brave blocks a pure local page? Because it would be a clear security issue? Think about that for a bit.

Sorry could you be more specific about it?

@buns2 My wild guess, re, in your OP: URL(chrome-extension://pkehgijcmpdhfbdbbnkijodmdjhbjlgp/data/web_accessible_resources/redirect.html?url= https://google.com ), which is blocked by Brave Brave is blocking a 3rd party cookie [Screenshot 2025-12-27 at 03.02.24] that has something to do with …

Thanks for the instruction. Changing to Allow all cookies doesen’t help. I suspect whether shield is working. On the page the shield icon(brave logo) in the right of address bar is gray and clicking on it does nothing. The URL is full. Describe it as a secure issue with no detail won’t help, I gue…

Sorry – just catching up here. What exactly is the page that you’re trying to access? Not sure I’m entirely clear on what the actual issue is.

Think about that for a bit.
