Description of the issue: I installed the Zotero Connector plugin from the web store and it has been working with Zotero to collect papers for a while. Today, it stopped working. I followed the steps on Zotero troubleshooting to no avail. . Other people have had this problem as well. The one thing …

I found a solution! Go to brave://adblock and enter @@127.0.0.1:23119 into custom filters. This whitelists localhost port 23119, which is the one Zotero uses . I adapted this solution from here , another extension had the same problem.

Just chiming in, have the same problem… I am able to load the URL to port 23119 (as suggested on the Troubleshooting page ) but wasn’t able to actually connect to Zotero… Zotero suggests whitelisting 127.0.0.1 port 23119 but unsure how to do this in Brave. I am on macOS Sierra 10.12.6 with Brave 1…

Over at the Zotero forums, they say that Brave is not supported so we should stick with a supported browser: Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. So I guess this is primarily a Brave issue. It’d be great if Brave could work well with Zotero Connector in the future. I am a bit confused about why Brave was w…

Hi, I use zotero plugin w brave w/o any problem. Try to use an earlier version of brave. I am on linux using Version 1.17.73 Chromium: 87.0.4280.67 (Official Build) (64-bit)

It’s Brave, I was using the connector as I usually do and last night it stopped working. I love Brave, but it seems that now things have gone wrong or maybe they are starting to censor extensions in favor of others or important developments in their browser are starting to slip out of their hands. A…

Thanks biohegedus. I’d like to try that but am unsure how to install an earlier version for windows. I know I can find it earlier versions on Github , but the .exe just installs the latest one. I’m unsure how to run an installer to get the earlier version.

Hi. go to settings and set ‘Trackers & ads blocking’ to ‘Disabled’ Problem solved.

Ok, it seems like the best solution is to either: (i) Revert to an earlier version of Brave (ii) Set ‘Trackers & ads blocking’ to ‘Disabled’ whenever you want to use Zotero. I’ll try (i) first… As a sidenote it’s amazing how frequent Brave releases are! I wonder how recent of a “break” this is. I…

Initially reverted to 1.21.70 and still didn’t work… Finally reverted to 1.17.73 as suggested by @biohegedus and it works! Thanks!!

Yep, turning off trackers and ad blocking works for me, too. Kinda defeats the purpose of using Brave, though. Something must have broken Zotero Connector between 1.17.73 and 1.21.73, since it worked for me previously. Hopefully Brave whitelists Zotero Connector in a future update.

I wonder if Brave blocking non-secure http localhosts has something to do with it. My understanding is that’s the connection needed for the Zotero plugin to work, and other people have complained aout this on Brave’s forums.

HTTP Localhost resources are not treated as secure in HTTPS page
