Doesn't work on Brave: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT

[aspiers]

This extension has inexplicably stopped working on Brave (or maybe never worked). My server is very definitely running on port 9292 (I can even telnet localhost 9292 with no problems) but the browser refuses to connect to it.

If I open the Test page (fancy-settings/source/index.html) and the background page (html/background.html), and click the Test button, I see a GET http://127.0.0.1:9292/status net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT error on the background page's console:

This was on Brave version 1.21.73 Chromium: 89.0.4389.72 (Official Build) (64-bit). I have also just tested on Google Chrome version 89.0.4389.72 (Official Build) (64-bit) and it works perfectly. The same goes for Atomic Chrome which also uses websockets on localhost. So this appears to be an issue with Brave :-(

We currently don't use websockets - just a plain HTTP over TCP connection. Either way it seems the problem is with Brave and not Edit with Emacs.

Thanks for the clarification.

If you turn off Brave's security features ("shields down"), it works just fine. And the constant reference to different "localhost" configuration settings that don't exist doesn't help matters.
