In the last week or two, when I go to a number of sites (Google-related like YouTube, and Reddit) I’ve been signed out.
I don’t have anything set to be deleted on exit (Settings>Privacy and Security>Delete browsing data), but that doesn’t seem to matter because it happens even if I haven’t quit Brave–I’ll just go to the site, and if I haven’t been there since the previous day, I’ll be signed out even if Brave has been running the whole time.
I don’t know exactly how much time needs to elapse before I’m logged out; quitting and relaunching Brave doesn’t, itself, cause it–I’ll still be logged in to those sites if I quit and immediately relaunch Brave.
I am done with Brave untill they fix this for me. I used it for years with clean history on exit, no problem. Now it is logging me out of google, youtube etc. for no reason… Back to Chrome until they fix it.
Same. I just got logged out of all my Google accounts for absolutely no plausible reason overnight. Brave is full of problems and never listens to its community, it’s time to change browsers I guess.
Google just says “This browser or app may not be secure. Try using a different browser.”, amazing!
Somehow, it’s logging me out of sites even sooner than it originally had; I now have to log back into various sites several times a day, even if I haven’t quit Brave.
For anyone here encountering this:
Can you please provide some of the additional information that was requested int he editor when this thread was opened?
What browser version are you using when you see this?
What OS are you using? OP states macOS but not which version and it’s unclear as to whether everyone here is on macOS or not.
Any extensions installed in the browser at this time?
You say that this issue is not specifically happening on exit – are they specific actions that you can take to force this issue to produce itself?
I have not noticed any actions that trigger this issue other than time. I’ve come to use Brave a lot less now because of this issue; several times a day if I switch over to using it again (it was running in the background), I’m logged out of multiple, unrelated sites.
Well, again, I’m not closing the browser. And it’s happening on OS X.
FWIW, I did a complete removal of Brave (application + support files) and reinstalled it. So far, I’m staying logged in much longer than before, but I suppose tomorrow will tell me if it’s fixed or not.
Edit: it’s the next morning after the delete/reinstall, and I’m still logged into the sites. Maybe the current version of Brave is prone to corrupting some files?
