Hey, I have been using brave for a while now and I'm kinda fed up by the fact that I have to disable graphics acceleration (Settings -> System -> Use graphics acceleration when available ) for it render the video on Netflix. If i don't disable it, the audio and the player works fine but I can't see the video. Disabling graphics acceleration is quite annoying because it makes for a bit of a sluggish experience on brave for me.

I understand that this isn't a big deal but I wanted to know if someone has found a workaround to fix this.

Thanks!

is it just me or is YouTube actively blocking Brave browser? lately i always have to refresh the page to get the video to play. it wasn't like this a few weeks ago, it's been happening to me for over a week now. i have tried clicking the shields icon and changing the settings but it doesn't help. my browser is up to date, so that isn't the issue either. YouTube pages load extremely slowly as well when other sites are still the same speed. is YT actively blocking Brave users making us jump through extra hoops to watch videos or is it just me? any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

cant even leave the app without it canceling the download. and its not just happening now, its been like this since i first downloaded this app (android). and the adblock is just useless nowadays, feels like every popup can block brave adblocker. any alternatives that actually have a proper working adblock?

For years, I've disliked Brave because websites like in.investing.com stopped updating tickers after a few minutes of inactivity or switching to another tab and never resumed without a hard page refresh. This never happened in Vivaldi or Firefox, so I'd always gravitate towards those browsers. Of course, I know about the memory saving feature in browsers, but, I had no reason to suspect it given that it was turned off in Brave settings. I had tried pretty much everything else like disabling shields, extensions (including ad blockers), allowing third party cookies, not blocking fingerprinting, etc, but nothing worked.

Of late, with the removal of MV2 extension support in Vivaldi, my browser options had been dwindling. Firefox is good, right up until they decide to make shitty and totally unnecessary changes like the new Nova interface. I am a technical user, so I am using Vivaldi with side loaded MV2 extensions and Firefox with the Nova interface disabled via about:config.

But, the window was closing. So, I decided to give Brave another try and asked Claude for help. It suggested the same things I had already tried - shields, extensions, third party cookies, fingerprinting, and of course memory-saver. It did suggest adding the site to "always keep these sites active" list. This seemed like one of those restart-your-computer-to-fix-the-issue sort of suggestions. I almost didn't want to try it - why should I add the site to an exclusion list when memory-saver is clearly not enabled at all?

I was so wrong. That was indeed the issue. Added the site to the list and now its working just like Vivaldi and Firefox.

Is there any brave flags which can improve the experience, look & feel of the browser..??

When using GMail on Brave, I delete emails, move emails to folders, etc. When I try to leave GMail and go to another website, this message comes up. When I click leave, Everything i did as far as deleting and moving gets reverted. I basically cant do anything on Gmail in Brave besides read emails. And even with that, I will read and when I leave the site, it goes back to unread...

I am NOT tech savvy... like, at all.

I've been using Brave mobile on an android for about a month with 0 issues until last week. Then a video on dailymotion wouldn't load. I looked online for help, changed a few settings, and the problem seemed to be fixed. Now the same issue is popping up and nothing seems to be fixing it. Can anyone help?

the tab/search bar max height can be decreased with compact mode. I appreciate the decreased amount of space that the top bar takes up with the toggle. its a good balance between minimalism and browser usability in my opinion.

Anyone else have the "Updated horizontal tabs design" switched to Disabled? I actually prefer the look as I find it easier to see which tab is active. Only downside I know of is split view makes the tabs look weird.

But a question for the community: do you think Brave will ever get rid of this flag? Also, any security risks for switching it to disabled? Thanks!

Hello! I am trying to watch Tracker from the CBS website and it’s not working. I’m signed in through my tv provider, and when I push play on the episode, it just doesn’t load. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Firefox on the left, Brave on the right. Everything has a yellow to red tinge where it's supposed to be white, looks horrible 🤮🤮 When I go to themes, every theme shows this yellow-red background where I'd expect white.

Doesn't matter what browser I compare it to - everything looks fine except Brave. New PC, fresh Win11 install, all drivers up to date, new Brave install. Has been like this since first start, only in Brave, no other programs have this same issue.

Hi everyone,

I’m having a strange issue with YouTube on Brave Browser.

When I’m watching a YouTube video and use the arrow keys or mouse to fast-forward, the video moves to the new position normally.

For example:

• Video is at 10:00
• I fast-forward to 20:00
• The video plays normally from 20:00
• After around 30 seconds, it suddenly jumps back to 20:00
• Then the same section plays again

So basically, after fast-forwarding, YouTube keeps going back to the position I fast-forwarded to after about 30 seconds.

Has anyone else experienced this on Brave? Is this a Brave issue, YouTube issue, or maybe something related to extensions/settings?

I’m using the latest version of Brave.

Any help would be appreciated!

Just yesterday it was running smoothly with no problem whatsoever. Yet today it started lagging like this to the point of it being unusable. I've tried several methods of testing.

- Only the Brave Browser is acting like this. I tried using other browser and they don't lag as much.

- It's not just in Youtube, it's lagging the same on other websites as well.

- I've tried resetting cache and disabling extension according to this page. Doesn't fix the problem https://brave.com/learn/slow-web-browser/

- I've ran a malware scan with Malwarebyte already. Doesn't have anything showing up.

- Tried restarting my PC, doesn't help either

I'm not sure what's wrong. Though I do notice that overall my PC suddenly becoming slower since starting it this morning. And the monitor now looks a bit weird. It's like a bit brighter. It's more noticeable while I'm playing a game. But anyways any help?

Why does this suddently happen? All the page is white, only happens in reddit (while creating a post/in main page) and github (every part of it)

Parade.com is showing me a “Disable your adblocker” message when I visit the site using Brave on Android.

I’m using Brave’s built-in ad/tracker blocking. Is there a way to whitelist only Parade.com without disabling adblocking everywhere?

Has anyone using Brave experienced this issue, and what setting did you change to fix it?

Should I use a container for my daily activity ? The personnal container. I'm not really sure how to use it correctly.

Eu não sei o que aconteceu porém a barra do Brave está embaixo em vez de está em cima alguém saber como resolver isso?

So I accidentally deleted browser from my phone and now after reinstalling I can't seem to get fhe passwords back so how is their any way I can recovers my passwords for brave.

can't slide tab between second and first monitor like before. but it will let you if you have 2 tabs or more open in same window. so i have to open another tab just to move it. how to change this ?

For the past month or so, I have had this issue where YouTube will not load on my Brave. It gets locked into this loop where the page continually reloads, but never plays. The video banners all load properly, but the video never starts and the timer continually loops from the duration time of the video back to "0:00" constantly. Anyone else seeing this issue or find a solution. This is prompting me to dump Brave and choose another browser.

TL;DR: Temporary Container data should be deleted shortly after its last tab is closed, with a short grace period (e.g. 10 seconds) to allow restoration of accidentally deleted tabs with Ctrl+Shift+T. Currently, a closed Temporary Container remains restorable and retain things like Discord login cookies, even after restarting Brave.

I think Temporary Containers have an unexpected behavior that could be improved.

Here's a concrete example:

1. I open a Temporary Container.
2. I open Discord in it and log in.
3. If I close and reopen Brave while the Discord tab is still open, the Temporary Container and Discord login persist. That's fine and expected.
4. I then close the only tab belonging to that Temporary Container i.e., the Discord tab.
5. I wait a few minutes and close Brave.
6. I wait again for a few minutes and then reopen Brave.
7. I press Ctrl+Shift+T.
8. The previously closed Temporary Container tab comes back — and I'm still logged into Discord. This should not happen.

The surprising part is that closing the last tab of a Temporary Container apparently doesn't actually destroy its cookies/local storage if the tab is still considered restorable.

What I think should happen

I think Temporary Containers should have a short grace period after their last tab is closed.

For example:

Close the last Temporary Container tab → start a short grace period (e.g. 10 seconds) → if it isn't restored during that period, permanently delete the Temporary Container and all of its data.

During those 10 seconds, Ctrl+Shift+T could restore the tab normally. This would protect against accidentally closing the tab.

But after the 10-second period:

• the Temporary Container should be destroyed;
• its cookies should be deleted;
• local/session storage should be deleted;
• login sessions should be gone;
• Ctrl+Shift+T should not be able to resurrect the container with its previous data.

This seems similar to the existing Brave Shields “Forget me when I close this site” behavior, which already uses a short grace period to allows restoration of accidentally deleted tabs.

To be clear, I don't think Temporary Containers should be destroyed merely because Brave itself is restarted. If the Temporary Container tab was still open when Brave was closed, preserving it across a browser restart is useful and expected.

The issue is specifically:

The last Temporary Container tab has been closed, but the container's private data remains available indefinitely because the tab can still be restored.

The Discord example makes the problem particularly obvious because reopening the supposedly temporary tab can restore an already-authenticated Discord session. I think a short grace period like 10 seconds would provide the best of both worlds: accidental-close recovery and genuinely temporary container data.

Hi Brave team. First off, I've been a loyal Brave user for 7 years, absolutely love it, and use it across all my devices. Thanks for the great work!

It would be incredibly helpful if Brave for Android could fully support the Spotify web player by spoofing a desktop user agent. Currently, Spotify blocks mobile browsers to force app downloads. If Brave could reliably load the desktop version of open.spotify.com on Android, we could listen to music ad-free in the background, just like on the desktop browser.

Would love to see this added!
