@bravebrowser Browser Users Report Issues with YouTube Ad Blocking - Solutions from the Community

This image shows how my search window looks. i'm using firefox as a browser. I already disabled all the ad blocks and paused ghostery but it still looks like this. the problem is, that I cannot click images or the other tabs because the search bar is above it and doesn't go away. I can't find anything in the settings and i couldn't find a similar topic on the Brave support page. anything i'm missing?

When I click on a tab while holding Ctrl or Shift, it just switches me into that tab. On other browsers (Firefox, Vivaldi) it selects the tab instead. If I want to move tabs from one window into another, I have to move them one. at. a. time.

How do I fix this? I am on version 1.69.168 on Linux from the Flatpak.

Web browser and search startup Brave has laid off 27 employees across the different departments, TechCrunch has learned. The company confirmed the layoffs but didn’t give more details about the total headcount left nor the reason for the layoffs. PitchBook however estimates that Brave has around 191 employees, working out to Brave cutting 14% of […]

Brave used to have an option to disable autoplaying of videos on web pages. But now the option is removed. I found discussions on Brave forums from users asking about it, but no one from the Brave team responds. (see this, this, and this).

I really don't want to believe Brave is intentionally being silent about this, but it's kinda obvious.

Anyone know anything about it?

I just realized that @bravebrowser has a blocklist for youtube shorts.

My life feels so much better now.

Seems to work on Desktop, but on android mobile, when I edit the search results in brave to not include AI, it doesn't save and pops up when I reopen browser/search in regular or Private window.

Don't want to wait for AI or get is crappy results.

Update

Apparently this is patched out by Brave, but it is enabled by default. See u/[email protected] 's comment below!

Vanilla chromium gives google's websites special treatment by offering detailed CPU info, among other things. This is implemented through a hidden browser extension. You can prove this by yourself by running chrome.runtime.sendMessage("nkeimhogjdpnpccoofpliimaahmaaome", {method: "cpu.getInfo"}, (response) => {console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2)); }, ); on google.com through the browser console. For me, it gives the following info:

I recently noticed when I received a login alert from a service provider, that @bravebrowser does not spoof the Operating System. That can, depending on your OS, enhance finger-printing and be a dead giveaway #BraveBrowser. There definitely needs to be an option to manually or automatically spoof the OS.

I've just started using Brave on Linux (distro info at bottom) and I have a question about keyboard shortcuts & how the browser manages active windows, because it seems to be doing something different from my last browser.

I usually use Firefox, and I've set it up so that I can open a new tab with the Mail key on my keyboard. Pressing my Mail key executes this command, opening a new tab.

 undefined

    
xdotool getactivewindow key ctrl+t

  

But now I've switched to Brave browser, and that command no longer works. When I've got Brave open and I press my Mail key, nothing happens.

I've tried alternate commands:

 undefined

    
xdotool key ctrl+t

  

and

 undefined

    
xdotool getwindowfocus key ctrl+t

  

but no result. Does anyone know how to fix? What is Brave doing with its browser tabs/windows?

Thank you!

Does anyone know if this has been reported yet, or how long these issues last for?
