I have issues when trying to open some web pages in Brave:  
I’ve tried all the recommendations I could find here: deleted Brave, reinstalled it. I’ve unistalled Antivirus, I’ve closed Shields, deactivated all the extensions. Hard reset, deleted cache, temporary files etc.  
Still not working.

Could be an Windows 11 issue? I have same issue with Google Chrome, Firefox.

**Are you able to reach almost all other websites?**

If you are able - with all browsers - to reach other websites, there may be

- DNS issue specific re website of interest
- IP address (or a range of IP addresses) issue - somewhere
- firewall issue
- VPN connection issue
- proxy issue somewhere
- Windows OS issue(s)

* * *

If you enter the URL address (`https://www.haha.me/`) into the search field (NOT into the URL address field) at Startpage:

> [https://www.startpage.com/](https://www.startpage.com/)

in the result, click on `Visit in Anonymous View`

Do you at least get to view the website?

Hi,  
I have the same issue ☹ My “wrong” page is for example: [https://focus.sk](https://focus.sk) It loads without problems in other browsers.

> Do you at least get to view the website?

… No, I don´t in Brave, but it loads without problems in other browsers.

@Emir

The actual URL address is `http://focus.sk/`

Using a Brave Browser New Window, go to `brave://settings/shields`

DISABLE: `Upgrade connections to HTTPS`
