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

- 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.
