Time to switch to uBlock Lite or another ad blocker.

      No. Brave has a history of modifying links you click on to add affiliate information. The only time to use Brave is if user agent spoofing for “chrome only” websites doesn’t make it work.

            thanks, but it’s a performance/timing/codec issue on an older laptop as the same sites work fine on a much higher spec machine

        they appear to have stopped that 4 years ago and apologized for the mistake

          Right, but I don’t trust them as a result and I don’t feel comfortable recommending them or not pointing it out. Meddling with links you click is malware behavior.
