Brave Browser release info

Still no update beside the v. 1.9.80 earlier this week. Maybe they're having trouble?

The strange behavious with iOS is back. It jumps to the wrong post on any alert I click on for this forum if I've been in that thread before. Since I use my phone browser 50% for MT browsing this is a deal breaker. I'll report it and try again when it's updated.

On iOS it’s WebKit, so who knows what’s going on.

Anyone knows what's this new "Aggressive" setting is about?
It is only visible in Beta and Nightly builds, but not in the Stable version.

Trying it out...

//EDIT. Answer below:

How do I use Shields while browsing?

Knowing how to read and use the Shields panel will help keep you informed and safe while browsing. We’ll go through and briefly detail each section of the Shields panel and what they mean or contro...

However, Shields does offer an Aggressive option for blocking Ads and trackers. Selecting the Aggressive option will block all site ads and trackers, including the first party ones.

Yes, It's agressive. Just kidding. I believe it is generally similar to other browsers' adblocking levels, e.g. Edge Chromium's basic, balanced & strict. I'm using both aggressive adblocking and strict fingerprint protection. No broken webpages that I'm aware of. There is a wierd bug on YouTube but not sure if it's related to Shields or not.

This bug occurs only while cursor hovers over iframe but video displays clearly otherwise.

My guess is Brave will intorduce these options to relelase channel after some testing and feedback.

I also see this Youtube bug now... Wonder what it is. Have you reported it to Brave?
Everything is just fine with Stable release...

 

[oldschool]

Have you reported it to Brave?

It's already been reported.

Everything is just fine with Stable release...

Yes, I use it too.

Yes, this Youtube bug is caused by Strict Fingerprinting protection. Tuning it back solves the issue

Strange, I turned it back and still had it. Maybe page didn't refresh properly.

The Shields UI fingerprinting protection switch is broken on my Nightly. I simply didn't notice this when I changed frrom "strict" --> "standard."

I was getting the same 'interference' on YouTube last week when using Firefox, as with your example when the curser was over the iframe it showed like the screenshot, move it away and I got the full video screen as it should be. I played around with a few extensions that I thought might have caused it with no success. It disappeared sometime at the end of last week, I'm not sure when as I didn't use YouTube for several days.

Edit - typo correction.

 

[Stopspying]

Strange, I turned it back and still had it. Maybe page didn't refresh properly.

My similar issue was when using Firefox, but if its a fingerprinting protection issue its quite possible that other browsers would see something like this too, especially if its a G**gle site that the fingerprinting defence causes issues with I'm not surprised. But, one of my extensions that I tried turning off to resolve the issue was Canvas Defender and that made no difference.

Happy to see I am already updated and current! And noticed that VS_WLC declared the brave setup.exe "not safe" I think because it is not signed.
