A lot of websites doesnt work. Youtube for example, it opens but videos doesnt load, videos on google drive, facebook doesnt even load. Twitch works perfectly. Ive tried changing dns, turning off all extensions, changing a lot of security options including brave shield. Whats weird is that yesterday it was perfectly fine, 0 problems, today 90% of websites doesnt load or load partially.

Please EDIT your Original Post (“OP”) above, in order to include:

  • Brave Browser version numbers
  • Windows OS version numbers

Problems you reported:

  • Youtube opens but videos do not load
  • Videos on Google Drive do not load
  • Facebook doesnt even load

You reported that the following work OK:

Noted, that you have:

  • Changed DNS
  • Turned OFF (but NOT removed) all extensions
  • Changed a lot of security options
  • Brave Shield OFF

Try . . . Using another Internet browser - esp. Firefox - so you can report comparisons between the browsers, on each particular performance.

IF Firefox OK, then for Brave Browser:

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

Shields Basics

How do I configure global and site-specific Shields settings?

How do I use Shields while browsing?

Create a new user Profile for Testing:

Create and use AN ADDITIONAL Brave Browser user Profile (Menu --> More tools --> Add profile) - only ← meaning: Do not have any other Brave Browser user Profile tabs/windows open.

When creating this new Brave Browser user Profile for test purposes

  • Do not import anything.
  • Do not add any extensions.
  • Do not allow/enable any Brave Browser “bells and whistles” such as Brave Rewards, Brave Talk, etc.

IF this test Brave Browser user Profile does not present your problem, then possibly, the profile that you have been using, has a problem . . . and that might be caused by one or more extensions, or too many tabs ← complex/conundrum.

Detailed info about testing - IF, in regard to memory and performance issues:

Create a new profile to help Troubleshoot

Extensions Tests:
  • test by disabling all extensions
  • test by enabling each extension individually
  • test by uninstalling all extensions
  • test by installing each extension individually
  • test combinations of extensions
  • test order of installation of extensions

Same here, seems like an ad-relation problem, images on X also does not load

I disabled twitch ad block and it worked all the other sites.

@Niro

Your: “I disabled Twitch AdBlock” means? :

brave://settings/shields/filters

And, when you disabled Twitch AdBlock, you reported: “it worked all the other sites”

So what sites are not “the other sites”?
