Browsing history no longer working, tabs and bookmarks icons gone

3 days ago, my browsing history completely vanished, and is no longer working no matter what I do, thanks Brave!

At the same time, all my bookmarks and all my tabs (I know I have a lot, not the topic) have had their icon disappear. The only way to bring them back is to remove the bookmark and re-add it, which I will not do as I have a lot of bookmarks.


Brave Version: 1.84.135

same happened to me with all passwords and site settings luckily i still have my bookmarks cuz i have a ton of them like you do. regardless im now looking for a more stable browser. i here duckduckgo has a good one better than brave.

@AgentH we have an open issue for this here:

I’ve added your report to the issue for review.

Thank you very much.

Same. The last few days the favicons on tabs have been loading blank but when clicked they load and are persistent. I have several Brave windows with full width of tabs running, that’s how I roll and it’s normally fine.

The favicons on the bookmark bar don;t load and display a blank, generic icon. When clicked don’t load. Hovering over bookmark bar blank icons does display the URLs , which is at least something because most don;t have text label.

I waited until the current build Brave 1.84.135 (Official Build) (64-bit) Chromium: 142.0.7444.135 in case it was something with the 29th October build.

History, in my case, does display but with blank generic favicons.

?Possible trigger:

Windows build Preview Update (KB5067036) (26100.7019) WAS showing as failing to install 30 Oct until today 11 Nov after numerous retries. Rebooted retried etc, Cleared download folder in %Win/ SW distribution/ download no avail

Today 2025-11-11 after updating to latest Brave build the (KB5067036) (26100.7019) update is showing as successfully installed on 30 October. Odd

I had the 2TB SDD appearing almost full 875MB free few days ago, though in reality it’s only half full. Perhaps this was due to a very long queue of longform videos in in Youtube (20m to over an hour). I had been saving queue, which hadn’t been persistent after reboot or Brave window reload. The queue was being appended rather than overwriting the YT queue, so over 2000 videos. I was unable to corroborate if excessive apparent disc usage WAS due to the YT queue.

I can confirm that everything is now working.
All tab and bookmark favicons are back, and browsing history is now working again (but everything before today got cleared).

Repaired now (for me at least) with update that dropped last night.

Thank you very much.
