How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Click on contact/group name in whatsapp web window

  2. Contact/group info screen doesn’t show when window is maximized

  3. If you click the icon to reduce the windows size, to any size except maximized, info screen does show

“Keep shields up, disable fingerprinting only”

Yes.

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
