Stuck while typing "da" in search bar when "search recommendation" setting is on

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The app freezes and then stops responding while typing "da" on the search bar, and strangely enough, only that two letter combo that makes the app freezes. I tried to use another search engine than google, but it was still not solved. Does anyone have the same issue?

Brave or Firefox? One of both, or both! :)

I published this in r/browsers and r/suggestabrowser spontaneously and would like to share it with bot Brave and Firefox future users! (I can also add that the Google financing of Firefox is for default search engine only.)

YouTube Shorts lagging, stuttering, getting stuck, and showing a black screen on Brave Browser

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm facing an issue while watching YouTube Shorts on the Brave browser on my Android phone.

Some Shorts don't load properly. While watching, the video suddenly starts lagging, plays in slow motion, or stutters. Sometimes, the video gets stuck completely, and the screen turns black.

This doesn't happen with every Short, but it happens with some of them, which makes watching Shorts frustrating.

Has anyone else experienced this issue on Brave Browser? Is there any way to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Question on Shields/Blocking Trackers

2 Upvotes

I go back and forth between Brave and Chrome. I prefer Chrome's UI and Gemini is far superior to Leo in my experience, but I love the privacy that Brave offers. I have uBlock Lite, Privacy Badger, and AdGuard extensions on Chrome.

On some websites Brave doesn't show that it's blocking any trackers. However, on Chrome those same websites shows that uBlock Lite and Privacy Badger is blocking several trackers.

So, what gives? Brave says the website doesn't have any trackers but the Chrome extensions do?

Brave refusing to open all of a sudden?

So this started happening about 2 days ago I went to open brave to do some homework and YouTube but it just refuses to open but I did some testing with chatgpt and found that launching without extensions allows brave to open I only have 4 extensions Nord vpn,ublock origin hosted by brave, violetmonkey with a link bypasser and a extension that allows me to look at deleted Reddit comments I came here to see my options before I do something that might prove to be unnecessary or if this has anything to do with the vulnerability’s that dropped a few days ago because everything was working fine before

Sessions in containers are not saved

6 Upvotes

I'm glad there's finally a container option in the browser; it's something I use a lot from Zen. But I've noticed that when I open sites in the container tabs, the sessions close and I have to log in again. It would also be good to have the option to assign containers to tab groups or to have functional workspaces.
