Brave Browser no longer supporting FRPFE nor FRVTree?

I just dual booted from Linux into Windows, and Brave disabled both the FR Posting Form Enhancer and the FR Tree View.

Thank you for the assistance (request), but it is a losing battle with Brave.

I will just use Chromium (for FR) unless/until it is usable on Brave again.

Uhhh, Chromium -is- Google, it's just the open-source basic/template version, used (customized) by Brave, Microsoft (Edge), and others, as well as by Google themselves for Chrome.

So I assume you meant "...but at least it's not Chrome".

Still working fine on my backup browser (Chromium).
Seems to be only affecting Brave :^P

Yeah, it’s the bare-bones without all of the built in trackers and spyware.
It’s also why I prefer not to use it, but it IS better than Chrome...

Thank you for the info, but it is just a Brave issue.
Using Chromium to run the scripts now.
Sucks that it won’t work on Brave anymore though :^/

This problem just popped up... it appears that it is a limited problem to Brave Browser, at the moment.

This quit working on firefox what seems to be a year or more ago as it updated it shut it down just like I hear its done with brave. I also attempted to get it working again using codemonkey and scripts and have yet to get it to function again. Codemonkey shows the script as active, still no worky.

It was a decent tool so if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong...I have other html editors so its just a convenience.

I had to resort to using Chromium for FreeRepublic for now.
Not sure we will be able to use cynwoody’s helpers on Brave anymore :^/

There was a whole slew of Brave browser extensions that were disabled during the past 48 hours.

They are mostly older browser extensions that don’t pass security muster anymore.

That’s a bummer, but I guess a necessity.
Shame the FR extensions can’t be updated.

I'm still annoyed that, after all these years, FR is still missing a critical tag in the <head>:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />

Every website since 2015 should always include this tag to support browsers on smartphones.

It is a very simple fix.

Otherwise you get crappy looking default serif fonts in non-Firefox browsers on Android.
