Brave Randomly Started Blocking A Site I Use Regularly

I’ve been using Brave for years and I’ve loved every second of it. However, today I was trying to open a pdf that was linked in a discussion board for my school and everytime it said

"This page has been blocked by Brave

ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT"

I haven’t changed any of the settings recently and have never had this issue before today. I go to Wright State University so the website I was using was pilot.wright.edu, which functions normally outside of the failure to open pdf’s.


@lukeplaisier since I/we don’t have a login for this, can you please take a screenshot of any errors in the dev tools console after performing this action? Super easy to do – step by step:

  1. In Brave, login to http://pilot.wright.edu/
  2. Navigate until you find a PDF that you know will throw the error when you click on it, but don’t click yet
  3. In Brave, click Main menu > More tools > Developer tools to open the developer tools window
  4. Click the Console tab in the dev tools window:
    image
  5. Now click on the link that opens the PDF

Take a screenshot of or copy/paste any error messages shown in the console and share it with us here.
