Tips regarding Brave Shields:

I have more success, with:

• Brave Shields UP, but . . .
• Either Allow All Cookies or Block 3rd Party Cookies, but NOT Blocking All Cookies
• Allowing JavaScripts from specific sources, but NOT Allowing All JavaScripts
• Trackers & Ads treatment: Aggressive (at first), and then incrementally relaxing that setting
• Fingerprinting (aka footprinting) blocking: Strict (at first), and then incrementally relaxing that setting

I almost NEVER use:

• All of Brave Shields UP
• All of Brave Shields DOWN
