@besteman can you try this site with shields down? ex: click the Lion in the top right, toggle protection off

[besteman]

@bsclifton
Looks like that works.
Is this normal behavior?

[bsclifton]

@besteman it's always a good first step to try

Something about the page is breaking with shields up. Sometimes the adblocker will prevent something from loading (which is needed for the page). Or often times, a site will use 3rd party cookies. We also disable 3rd party fingerprinting, which may break the site experience.

You can try turning back on shields and try turning off these features one at a time until it works. Understanding this would help. BTW - Brave will remember if you changed these settings for that particular site so you shouldn't have to do it again

@bsclifton
Thank you so much for the info.

Love what you guys are doing here.

I literally can't go back to Chrome after using Brave. It reminds me of going from Dial-Up to DSL.

Yeah, its only a shields-up issue

Worth mentioning that it seems to work just by changing cookie control to Allow all or Block 3rd Party. I think FP may need to be set the same way as well.
I helped a user with this issue just a bit ago: https://community.brave.com/t/unable-to-use-android-messages-mightytext-google-sign-in-or-anything-else-that-links-my-phone-to-my-pc/28946
