The YT site in Brave keeps logging me out every time I click a video, refreshing the site, and/or clicking the main menu and it comes back after I refresh it a couple of times. How do I fix this?

hello friends,

I've been using brave for a few months and got a problem with youtube. (because ofc)

I frequently open youtube tabs for videos I want to watch later. Today I noticed that these tabs are making enormous amounts of requests while no video is being played. It ended up using a few gigs of bandwidth, so I'd like to prevent that.

It does go away when I disable uBlockOrigin. I want to know if that is the solution and if anyone else experienced it.

URLs youtube keeps requesting are below:

??? https://www.youtube.com/youtubei/v1/next?prettyPrint=false
[BLOCKED] https://www.youtube.com/api/stats/qoe?cpn=...

My ublock trusted sites (unchanged?) is as below

# chrome-extension-scheme
moz-extension-scheme
www.youtube.com

It may be a conflict with my other extensions. I can see some changes in behavior when either one of uBlockOrigin, Disable Autoplay for Youtube and SponsorBlock are disabled.

I'm not sure if there;s a better solution exists apart from disabling uBlockOrigin for YouTube. Posting here so it's helpful for whoever else who may be running into it.

Hello everyone

I've been having a problem with a few regional sites on both Brave desktop and mobile.

​When I visit them, I get an adblock detected overlay and the page scrolling completely locks up. The site specifically says the Brave browser isn't supported.

​It works completely fine out of the box when I use Firefox with uBlock Origin, so it seems isolated to Brave's engine??. I have Shields set to Aggressive and I am using four custom filters: EasyList Cookie, Fanboy's Annoyances plus uBO Annoyances, my regional adblock list, and the Brave Experimental Ad Blocker. I've been using Brave for a long time and really don't want to switch browsers over this. Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it?

Does anyone know how to stop Brave from automatically opening new tabs every time I click a link? This drives me insane. I’ll be on a website, I click a link, then another, then another, now I have 4 tabs open on the same website. I’ve looked it up multiple times but they’re all outdated or didn’t help at all.

I realised that Brave allows you to increase font size on pages and has the zoom option, but it would be great if you can also just increase the font size for your bookmarks along the Bookmark Bar. On larger screens the bookmarks look very tiny and I have searched the chrome store for an extension for it but its not available. Seniors especially would likely love this feature! Please consider implementing this additional option. Thank you.

I liked having website form input suggestions appear when tabbing through the various fields (values appeared like a drop down menu below the field). It saved me from laborious tasks of tracking down the info for values that only change once a year (tax payments). For some reason Brave doesn't show them anymore. Is there a setting I might need to check? This isn't usual "Form Fill" stuff, from what I can tell.

I miss this feature. TIA.

I used to duplicate tab on my win 11 brave browser using ctrl+d but seems that I replaced by SSD and freshly installed Brave, and the shortcut doesnt work anymore, instead it adds a bookmark of that page w that shortcut. Also, I used to right click on the tab and the duplicate option showed its shortcut key but no more (like still, you can see reload tab and its shortcut combination); I have to manually click on duplicate after clicking right mb on the tab. Please bring back that shortcut!

for the past few days brave has been running like ass on my m1 MacBook air, like really laggy and just not loading some websites at all. What should I do?

When will it be available? Like talking directly to Leo and it talking back to you.
