All my extension suddenly clicked off, Ad Block went gray, Dissenter too, nothing working. Not able to download any replacements either.
Tried installing Brave, 3rd or 4th try, still won’t work. About 8 or 10 instances of Brave showing up in task manager, hogging enough CPU resources to bog the machine down, took me a good 10 minutes to get it to shut down at all, it kept popping up in task manager again soon as I killed it. And that’s with 7 or 8 still left to deal with...nightmare...
So for now I’m on a different laptop running Linux, the Slacko version they have been working on the past few years. All working fine, including an Ad Blocker. Different setup, it’s apparently a stand alone program, not shown in the tool bar. Works like a charm though. I get no ads at all, occasionally a place holder saying the website couldn’t load...good...
Not sure what’s going on with Brave, I’ve tried to install it 3 or 4 times, never got it to run at all, usually locked up the machine and forced a hard reboot, or like yesterday, 15 minutes trying to force it to shut down so I can uninstall it again...don’t think I’m going to try it any more. Yes I know it’s the right version, I built and repaired these damn things for a living for 15 years, I do watch for that...also downloaded a new installer yesterday instead of using the older one, same results.
