When accessing any instagram profile of any user, Instagram displays a “page not found” error on Brave browser exclusively (working on any other browser). Help

Hello @paradox11, thank you for reaching us out. Have you tried by enabling /disabling some shield options or deleting cookies and cache? Are you using any kind of extension? If so, please try to disable them.

On your computer, open Brave.  
At the top right, click `Menu` →` More tools` →` Extensions.`  
On to the extension you want to remove, click `Remove.`

Besides, you can try in incognito/private window and let us know if the issue persists.

Regards.

I’m having a problem [ig downloader](https://downloader2x.com/en/) Instagram Reels video doesn’t load videos on Brave. I tried clearing the browser cache, but it didn’t work.

Thanks but I tried every option. Disabling extensions is not an option for me, as I need them in my daily activity. Issue persists in incognito as well.

Hello @paradox11, thanks for replying! More specifically try by enabling and disabling the option that says `Block scripts` under `Shields> Advanced controls`

Besides that, please read this article so you can find different solutions for that particular error message:
