LinkedIn Account Restricted – Possible Conflict with Brave Browser Shields

Dear Brave Support Team,

I’m writing to report a critical issue that may involve Brave browser’s interaction with LinkedIn.

I’ve had multiple LinkedIn accounts restricted recently, and after investigating, I found that these restrictions only occurred while using Brave on my Windows PC. I had Brave Shields enabled with aggressive blocking settings (scripts, trackers, etc.). Soon after, LinkedIn restricted access to my account.

I later received warnings that my PC environment was unsafe. I’ve since wiped and reinstalled my system and switched to mobile access—where no issues have occurred.

I’m a student and heavily rely on LinkedIn for professional networking, and I fear Brave’s script blocking or fingerprinting protections may have triggered false positives on LinkedIn’s end.

My request:
Could Brave investigate this behavior and, if possible, provide me with a short technical statement or clarification I can forward to LinkedIn Support confirming that these browser features might cause login or verification issues with LinkedIn?

Thank you for your help, and I really appreciate the Brave team’s commitment to user privacy and security.

Best regards,

this is happening to me as well

Not seeing this on my end. Are you able to login to your account when you set Shields to standard ad blocking?
