RE: Is the Brave Browser Kaput...? (Includes 2 Temporary Solutions)

Hey @trincowski, not on Steem as much anymore, so just seeing this. I experienced the same problem. My temp solution was to turn off my security protections from PC Matic. When writing to their tech support team as to why this was necessary, they wrote back with two links tied to it being a known issue with a Chromium update (that is, a Google problem, not a Brave production team problem):
Their temp resolution steps, until this was fixed:
Locate the Brave.exe file: C:/ProgramFilesx86/BraveSoftware/BraveBrowser/Application
Right-click the file and select Properties
Open the Compatibility tab, check the box under under Compatibility Mode, and select Windows 8 from the list.
Click Apply, then OK.
That said, by the time I got around to attempting to follow these steps, the problem had disappeared (this was late October). For weeks no problem, then recently it reappeared. And, again, my temp solution of temporarily suspending my PC Matic security checks takes care of it, although far from ideal ...
For a long time now, I have believed Brave to be the browser of choice for me, so I continue to put up with this issue and assume, once again, it will go away in the near future, with an update of some sort.
Hope this helps!
Yes, I know. I had already included that fix on my post. Thanks, anyway!
