In a Brave Browser New Window, visit the specific website of interest - for example, the main Google website: https://www.google.com/. Click on the tune icon that is adjacent to the left end of the Brave Browser window’s URL address field:

In the resulting pop-down window, find and click on the Site settings button:

In the resulting Brave Browser Settings window, scroll down to JavaScript, and Allow that:

At the top of that Brave Browser settings window, in the URL address field, notice the URL address:

brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com

The base of the address is brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2F ← that is sort of a constant. The remainder of the address is either a domain name such as google.com or a hostname such as www.google.com.

I suggest, that you manually set JavaScript to Allow, for each of the following domains / hostnames of the Google Sphere / Google System:

  • brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutube.com
  • brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fgmail.com
  • brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com
  • brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fgooglevideo.com
  • brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fgstatic.com
  • brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogleapis.com
  • brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fytimg.com

And after all that adjusting of settings, Exit / Quit everything and restart your computer.
