Incognito mode broken

incognito mode is broken. Sites that worked in the previous version now report “too many redirects”

Version 1.73.89 Chromium: 131.0.6778.69 (Official Build) (64-bit)

The issue that you reported, sounds like: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.

Sometimes, Cloudflare procedures are involved. Sometimes, Internet browser settings that cause an upgrade from HTTP to HTTPS are involved. Sometimes there is a bug in the website. Now, you report that Brave Browser Private Browsing mode may be involved.


General reference material/info that I have found:

Cloudflare Community Tip - Fixing ERR TOO MANY REDIRECTS

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Those two links are to articles about, some reasons why the ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error alert occurs.

There was also a problem in the Google Chromium engine:

https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/5930084

for Chromium upgrade 130.0.6723.58 that is within Brave Browser upgade 1.71.114 and the later upgrade 1.71.118.

Chromium developers comments:

[M130] Revert “canvas: add NoAllocRedirect for canvas functions”

Original change’s description:

canvas: add NoAllocRedirect for canvas functions

This originally landed here:

https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/4247062

But there was a bug in v8 that led to the wrong thing happening.

The v8 bug has since been fixed.

Original cl description:

These functions may be called extensively, and don’t allocate.


What is “canvas?”

The HTML <canvas> element is used to draw graphics on a web page.

The HTML <canvas> element is only a container for graphics. You must use a script to actually draw the graphics.

Canvas has several methods for drawing paths, boxes, circles, text, and adding images.

Canvas is supported by all major browsers.
