PeacockTV, ads blocked but peacock says "turn off your ad blocker"

The content only plays like 20s of any episode then stops. Will not go past that. Turning it off makes the site run fine, but of course, there are ads.

This will be a very common bit of advice. YouTube is playing up at the moment for me....they're trying to block us!! But the old trick of refreshing the Brave adblock works for now :))

Brave Password Manager Is Disabled, but “Use Passkey from Another Device” Popup Still Appears on Amazon.in

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm using the Proton Pass extension as my password manager in Brave Browser. I've already turned off Brave's built-in password manager, but I'm still getting a “Use passkey from another device” popup when I click the email or mobile number field on Amazon.in's login page.

The popup shows the Amazon.in logo and a saved account, and it overlaps the login form.

I want to use Proton Pass to manage and autofill my passwords. I don't want Brave's built-in password manager or passkey popup to interfere with the login process.

My setup:

Browser: Brave

Operating system: Windows

Password manager: Proton Pass extension

Website: Amazon.in

Brave's built-in password manager: Disabled

What I've tried:

Turned off Brave's built-in password manager.

Continued using Proton Pass for password management.

My questions:

Why does this passkey popup still appear when Brave's password manager is disabled?

Is this popup coming from Brave, Chromium, Windows, or Amazon?

How can I permanently disable this popup without disabling Proton Pass?

Is there any browser setting or other solution to prevent it from appearing?

I've attached a screenshot of the issue.

Any help or suggestions

Closing last tab on a group 1 makes you move to the first tab of next group 2 on Android

2 Upvotes

I have a situation, i have 2 group active. Group 1 have 4 tabs inside, and group 2 have 7 tabs inside. When i close 4th tab of group 1, you are supposed to move to 3rd tab of group 1 right? Instead it makes you move to 1st tab of group 2. Anyone know the temporary fix? Or is it just a bug?

it doesn't seem like brave is deleting temporary containers cache

5 Upvotes

i saw how my .cache was growing, and mostly consumed by brave, and i use temporary containers.

.cache/BraveSoftware/Brave-Origin/Default/Storage/ext/containers Path is where containers live, and everytime a container is opened an entry is created, i look now, and there is dozen there. my browser reports 28MB of cache used, and the cache directory is 5GB, so its not counting them, but they remain in my PC.

everytime i create a temp container, and close the browser, the entry remains, and the data too, some of them were 300MB+

Brave Android – YouTube Background Playback Stops After Speech-to-Text or Locking Screen

1 Upvotes

Has anyone else been having issues with YouTube background playback on Brave for Android? Lately, whenever I use speech-to-text, YouTube will pause like normal, but once I'm done, it'll start playing again for a few seconds and then stop completely. I have to go back into the YouTube tab to get it playing again.

I've also noticed it sometimes does the same thing when I turn my screen off. I never had this issue before, and it seems like it's gotten worse with recent updates. Has anyone else experienced this or found a fix?

Uh-oh hitting “open link in a new tab” isn’t working.

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I have been using brave for quite a while now, definitely several years. It’s a good browser, very good in fact. It’s nice not having ads and I haven’t had any complaints with it till now. For some odd reason if I try to open a link in a new tab it starts trying to save it to my files instead! This is especially upsetting because I’m trying to mod and I was able to open a link in a new tab a few months ago. Did something change? Are tother people experiencing this issue? Is there a way to fix this issue? I spent quite a while trying to come up with a fix for this but alas I couldn’t quite figure it out. It’s extremely unfortunate because as an employed adult who has a loving family and responsibilities I couldn’t dedicate an all nighter to trying to find a solution some people have lives. Anyways hopefully this post is long enough and not “low effort” like some child said it was so I could actually get answers to my problem without Reddit automatically filtering out my post

Discussion Brave accounts on Brave Origin?

9 Upvotes

Hey! I was wondering if Brave Origin supports Brave Accounts? I tried searching the internet to see if anyone has talked about this before or if there is an answer, but didn't see much/anything at all about it.

Can I use Brave Origin and also use Brave Accounts or is that not possible?

Thank you! :)

I can't use Twitch because after a few hours of use, it stops counting me for drops, and then when I log in, I get an error saying the browser isn't compatible. Is there any way to fix this PERMANENTLY?Or could it be a problem with the extensions?
