Shields down by default when configured otherwise

@Mattches

@JhonBlank - about 1 month ago:

I borrowed from his tip:

In a Brave Browser > New Window, go to: brave://settings/clearBrowserData

For tab On exit - set:

  • Disable: Site and Shields Settings

Click on the ‘Save’ button

Return to: brave://settings/clearBrowserData

For tab Advanced:

  • Set: Time range:All time
  • Enable: Site and Shields Settings (Enable DELETES Shields Settings and RESTORES default: Shields UP for site-specific Shields [Lion icon] panel)

Click on the ‘Clear data’ button.

(The ‘Clear data’ button also saves the selections.)

Return to: brave://settings/clearBrowserData

For tab Advanced - set:

  • Time range:All time
  • Disable: Site and Shields Settings (So henceforth, Site and Shields settings will not be deleted)

Click on the ‘Clear data’ button.

Restart Brave Browser

That has worked:
