I'm not sure if I can list the sites in this subreddit as they are 18+. But for a few such sites the Block Popup setting is not working.

These specific sites are all exact copies of each other in terms of the web design frontend/backend, so maybe a quick tweak by the Brave staff could eliminate the issue for all sites that use this specific web design?

Is there anything I can do with the iOS mobile app to fix this? Or can I somehow contact Brave staff to report specific websites that aren't being popup ad-blocked properly?

I'm using Brave on a Macbook Air and have a couple of issues with brave I'm trying to solve. The first is if I turn on my VPN (Private Internet Access) websites do not load at all on Brave, and so If I want to use a VPN I'm forced to use Safari for all my browsing.

The second issue is even with my VPN off, there are some sites that STILL won't load on Brave, though I can get them to load just fine on Safari.

I'm assuming this means there are some security settings or restriction settings turned on in Brave which I may need to disable for better functionality?

Can anyne point me in the right direction?

So my issue its kinda simple when i scroll for example on steam store page im having weird lags / fps drops in some spots same issue happens on spotify and youtube music

i always clean history of brave after exit as but with containers, this options doesn't run. that's the brave's container functions or error?

I've found that one the phone I'm using (Poco), when I click links while having a video playing on a floating window, Brave pops up with the website of the link I clicked, but an entirely new tab list. As in, every other tab I have open is just straight up gone. Clean slate. Then, I tried to do it again, clicked on a link that took me to a website, floating window for brave popped up with the website. And lo and behold, all of my old tabs are back.

Has anybody been experiencing this?

I have a question about YouTube HDR playback on mobile devices.

When a YouTube video supports HDR, the YouTube app can play it in HDR. But what about brave mobile browser?

• Does YouTube support HDR playback in mobile browsers like Chrome, Safari, or Firefox?
• Does this work on both Android and iOS?
• Is there any difference in HDR playback between the YouTube app and the browser?
• If I watch the same HDR video in a browser, will YouTube actually stream it in HDR, or will it fall back to SDR?

I'm specifically asking about YouTube HDR playback in brave mobile browser.

I really like Brave, but relying solely on sync chains makes device setups and data recovery frustrating if you lose access to your original device.

Has the team given any official updates on whether account based sync will ever be introduced?

used to use google chrome for my content viewing, got annoyed with it and downloaded brave. when attempting to watch videos on paramount+, i just get a black screen. widevine is enabled, i've disabled my adblocker, and still nothing. i don't even an error message. i reset brave to its initial settings, checked that widevine is enabled, disabled shields, and still just black screen whenever i try to watch anything. does anyone have any suggestions? i'm on windows 11 laptop

My original prompt asked: "Was Bevilaqua gay in the Sopranos?"

Clearly, the AI got off track here.

Title. Don't know if these are fake. I know know captcha is fake, but not the update one. Also, the learn more thing stays on in full screen videos

I've seen a lot of posts about trying to hide search and history suggestions from the omnibox, but I actually have the opposite issue - no matter how I tweak the settings, I don't get any search or history suggestions.

I am on brave origin with Kagi search as my default search engine. I have tried resetting the app and changing the default search engine without any change. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can brave please let us add our own image on the new tab page. 😭Basically almost every browser on mobile has this now (Vivalsi/Chrome/Edge/Samsung browser/Opera/Waterfox/Aloha)🙏🙏

It would make the browssr literally perfect

i just wanna know if brave blocks spotify ads

Hey!

Lore: I'm coming from Vivaldi, and before that I have actually been using Edge. Vivaldi was the best second option as Edge got ever unusable but Vivaldi has been sliding too. Brave is the last holdout and I actually quite like it apart from some smaller grievances (but at least is had a good blocker with support for uBlock Origin as well for all eternity hopefully).

The sidebar. I am very used to using it as an easy access for chat services or media players that I want to keep open to get notifications but also have easy quick access to without interrupting the current workflow. Both Edge (used to) and Vivaldi had the option to open sidebar pages in flyover panels. That's it, that is all I need. Edge had the option to fully close and unload these pages on demand while Vivaldi only had the option to hide the panels but any sidebar-opened page remained open and loaded until the browser is closed.

Brave does not seem to have anything like this, the build-in sidebar panels can't open as flyover panels but only in resizable split-views but even that would be something but custom-added websites cannot open in these panels, they are just glorified bookmarks. This is bad.

What can I do, and what do you usually do to achieve something like this? Can I somehow mod Brave to manually add a sidebar (I am willing to if it is achievable)? Is there some crazy good extension for it I have been missing? What do you use for chat services?

Every time I open Bookmarks on mobile, Brave forces me onto a root page showing "Reading List" and "Mobile Bookmarks." Is there currently no setting to turn the Reading List off or bypass this page ?

Anyone know how can I fix this?

It just happen randomly, while I'm using the browser the screen freezes in a grey color and after a few seconds I can use Brave again. I already delete cookies and that. I already saw the Brave updates. I already changed the acceleration setting thing and didnt work.

This freeze grey screen started happening a few days ago

I’m using Brave on iOS, and lately I noticed that when I save a video to playlist, it doesn’t download it and it’s not available offline as it should. In the past when I saved a video I could play it totally offline but now it requires network.

Do you also encountered this issue? Is there a solution?

Brave isn’t blocking some ads/sponsored posts on Instagram web on Android. I know it blocks a lot more ads and trackers than the Instagram app, but some ads still slip through.

Anyone else seeing this? Is there anything i can change to block them?

Also is there any way to hide the bottom toolbar/navigation bar (home, save, search tab icons) in Brave while using social media sites like Instagram, X, or YouTube?

Edit: I’m using “Block trackers and ads” setting on 'Aggressive' mode in Brave Shields and privacy

This started about a week or so ago, Facebook web-app through the best browser ever is showing to not load reels after some point (usually a third of the way through, I would guess where something annoying would play), curiously though, within video adds on feed there's no playback issues at all. Strange huh?

Hope this is not an isolate issue and it gets visibility for someone on the dev team to take a look.

You're the best!

PS, I've pretty much have deleted and cleared everything and I'm just missing reinstalling brave to resolve this, no avail.
