@JFerris

In a Brave Browser New Window, go to:

  • brave://settings/clearBrowserData Advanced tab

Time range: All time

ENABLE:

  • Cookies and other site data
  • Cached images and files

Click Clear data

Exit / quit everything and then do not be shy about using:

Disable ALL of the extensions that you have installed.

Restart Brave Browser. Test.

Install each extension - alone, no combinations of extensions. Test.

You may find one extension is a cause, or, after having tested each extension alone . . . then testing combinations, a combination of extensions is the cause, or the order of installation that you have had - was the cause.

My own opinion, is that any anti-virus extension should be installed last, and any adblocking -type extension, should be BEFORE that last anti-virus extension.
