Brave with the shield up makes most web pages just a wall of text and makes Youtube unusable

As mentioned, disabling the easy list filter fixes my problem.

Thanks; I will try this. Glad it wasn’t just me!

Thank you! This worked.

Confirmed this fixed it for me also.

Thought it was a Brave update but the timing didn’t match. Lookks like the Easylist Cookie list was just updated (https://secure.fanboy.co.nz/fanboy-cookiemonster.txt - Updated: 2024-01-06 00:30 UTC).
To make things worse, I had to create this account on Firefox because I couldn’t even get brave’s own sites to load with shields down!

Has anyone else here had a problem with youtube not allowing a sign in after removing the malfunctioning list? The webpage loads now, but attempting to sign in causes it to lead to an error page.

I have the same issue. It just happens I don’w know how, but the solution works. Thank you!

Can anyone report the issue to EasyList? I am waiting on my forum account on their end to be approved by the admins so I can report it. Would appreciate if someone else already has an account and could report it. I don’t see a report over there right now.

Literally created an account just to comment on this post. Thanks. The solution worked for me.

Turn easylist back on, it is working again with it enabled.

Can confirm. EasyList is not breaking websites anymore. I turned it back on again.

fantastic, this works, thanks so much!!

back to normal now, at least for me (with shields up and easylist cookie filter on) - youtube works and everything else as normal… wow what a 20 minutes!

I have the same issue, using the temporary solution, but I would like the ultimate solution.
