I keep running into sites which will not load, they work on other browsers, just not brave. I’ve tried a fresh install of Brave, removed all my extensions, disabled my VPN my virus protection software, disabled shields, tried allowing all cookies, added sites to the safe list within Brave, reset Brave to default settings, nothing seems to work. For example was shopping for coloured contacts from sites I’ve used before and these 3 just would not load. Again work on every other browser I tried, but on brave it’s just a white screen. These are the sites I’m referring to: > **[Best COLOR CONTACT Lenses 👁️ 800+ Colored Eye Contacts | EyeCandys](https://eyecandys.com/)** > > Loved by 400K Customers, EyeCandys® COLOR CONTACTS Lenses Beautif-EYE Your Look Naturally, Safely, Comfortably! Our Circle Lenses & Colored Eyes Contacts Come in Prescription, Non-Prescription & Astigmatism. Made in Korea (Not China), FDA/CE... > **[Shop Colored and Cosplay Contacts, Clear Lenses & Eye Care Essentials](https://honeycolor.com/)** > > Buy colored contacts, cosplay lenses, clear contacts, and eye care accessories. Shop online for comfort, style, and quality you can trust! > **[1000+ Colored Contact Lenses Online (Free & Fast Shipping)](https://www.pinkyparadise.com/)** > > Shop eye colored contacts online. From cosplay, halloween to anime styles. Available in non or prescription with diff colors available. Fast & Free Shipping! I’d provide screenshots, but the favicons haven’t loaded and again just a white screen, so not much to show there. This happens on quite a lot of sites and has always been a problem since I started using Brave. Brave v 1.74.51 Windows 11, 22H2 (OS Build 22621.4317) ---

Tried, clearing cache, problem was still present. Guest profile as well as Brave beta the problem was still occuring. Accidently stumbled across this though. The link for one of the sites loaded when the URL was like this: [https://eyecandys.com/brave://welcome](https://eyecandys.com/brave://welcome) The page doesn’t exist but suddenly the site loaded, only with that URL though, any attempt to navigate it would just go back to a white screen. ---
