Hello all, I picked out all the folks on this thread who recommended Brave to CC my question to. Hope someone can help.
I moved to brave about a month ago. In general I like it, except for 2 things.
1) It won’t remember usernames/passwords for sites. For just about every single site I go, I have to enter the user/pass. Brave asks “do you want me to remember this?” just about every time, and I say “yes”, yet it =doesn’t= remember. I am reasonably sure there is a setting somewhere that I missed, but I’ve been unable to locate it.
2) The Brave Rewards thing is annoying. OK, so I don’t really mind having a little box that will periodically pop up in the corner to help finance development and distribution of the browser. However, very frequently I have 4 or 5 of the damn things stacked up on the screen that obscure almost the entire right 4 inches of the screen, that I have to click to get rid of because they are obscuring what I am trying to read.
Other than that, it pretty much all works as expected. Any assistance with this would be appreciated. If it helps, I’m on a recent derivative of ubuntu.
I had that problem after the last update.
The last time I opened Brave, it popped up with a question about if I wanted to allow Brave to use the stored passwords. I said yes, and it started working again.
So I don’t know where the switch is... but try a full restart.
