Have Been Using Brave. Auto Update Yesterday, and cannot change homepage and tracking

Posted on 12/09/2018 7:38:49 AM PST by Chickensoup

I have been using Brave with no issues but the scrolling problem.

Yesterday Brave updated.

Now I cannot change the homepage, it is one of theirs, I was able to change goog to duck duck go, but it now lists and autofills when I search and I cannot turn that off

There doesn't seem to be a place to do these simple things anymore.

Although the scrolling problem went away.

Glad I am not the only one.
Brave (Old) is listed as a program on my computer but it boots the new edition.

We are together on this.

I clicked thinking it was minor.

not minor.

I have never updated IE. I should have taken that stance with Brave. But I wanted the scrolling issue fixed, which they did fix, but they changed some much else.

Could be that in a few days Brave will release an "Oops" update.

Have you tried to contact Brave about this? Do they have a user forum you can contact?

Above the URL you want for Homepage is a toggle to turn that feature on, otherwise it will continue to default

I did a fair amount of reading today through their issues lists, etc. You can still launch the old one (for now, I imagine), but you’ll need to find the old exe to do so.

They have a lot of folks saying “oh chromium, great, make all of this stuff optional”.

They also broke “https everywhere” and a host of other little things. And whoever Mattche is in their blog/forum/thing needs to go.

I thought I was the only one having issues with the update. Of course it happens during my work week, and I have no time to look into it.

Bookmarking.

The Brave Menu (3 horizontal bar icon) has a “Settings” selection. The home button must be enabled to change the home web page. At the bottom of the settings page is an “Advanced” button for more things like setting the download directory.
