Frequently used websites stopped working

Troubleshooting technical issues is much easier when both the user and support agent practice clear communication. For this reason, we have provided the template below for you to fill out with information about your issue. Please provide as much detail as possible so we can most efficiently resolve your problem.


Description of the issue: since a few day, maybe a week the browser stopped suggesting frequently visited websites without me changing any settings.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Go to a website you didn’t visit before so you have to type in the entire address in the address bar

  2. Close the tab, open a new tab and start typing that same address again, you will see it gets suggested

  3. Close all tabs and come back to the browser a few hours later (maybe the next day) → try going to that website again, the browser won’t remember/suggest the address

Expected result: the address is suggested.

Brave Version( check About Brave): Version 1.89 (144)

Mobile Device details iPhone 15

Additional Information:

@MirandaKerr

Brave Browser (iOS) > Settings > Shields & Privacy > Manage Website Data ← clear that.

Suggest that you “bang on the toggle switches” - in the Brave Browser (iOS) settings. In other words:

  1. Throw the switches in the opposite direction
  2. Exit / Quit all processes
  3. Do a full power off and shut down of the iPhone
  4. Pause for at least 30 seconds
  5. Start up the iPhone
  6. Run Brave Browser
  7. Do steps 1 - 6 again.

After that 2nd lap, then set the switches as you wish … and test.
