Hi everyone!

Today i turned on my PC opened Brave as always. Before brave was showing me "Earnings so far" with the earnings of the current month, but today it only tells me how much ads I've seen.

Do these enhancements carry over to brave?

https://blog.chromium.org/2024/12/doubling-speedometer-scores-android.html

If so do all of the features make it over? Or do you have to review and implement them manually?

How to Use Custom Models in the Mobile Version of Brave Browser's Leo AI Tools

I’ve been exploring the Brave Browser's Leo AI tools and noticed that while it’s possible to integrate custom models into the desktop application, this functionality doesn’t seem available on mobile. Is there a way to use custom models in the mobile version of Brave Browser? If so, I’d appreciate guidance on how to set it up.

Brave won't save PDFs on Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra

Hello;

​I have been using Brave on both phones and tablets for banking, bill paying and reviewing various accounts, as well as to save information on topics of interest. It has worked reliably for years until a week or so ago when I began no longer being able to save PDF files on my Galaxy Tab S9Ultra. Nothing happens when I perform the usual steps:

  1. Tap the three dot menu in the upper right
  2. Select share
  3. Tap Print
  4. (Save as PDF is displayed with thumbnails of pages) Tap gold button
  5. Select Internal storage > Download folder
  6. Tap Save

Recently, when I tap Print, nothing after step 3 happens.

It had been working fine before and still does on my Galaxy S22 Ultra and Tab S6. I *had* been able to save PDF files everywhere with no issue. There has been no change on my end.

Does anyone have a solution? I’m not ready to dump this browser.

Why is brave adding additional info to the URL, default search engine is DuckDuckGo

https://preview.redd.it/omvbjmv50v4e1.png?width=1632&format=png&auto=webp&s=f47916db18a1aac8b395f4d6eb68e81dabf259cb

As you can see in the URL, the part &t=brave&ia=web is additionally added after clicking enter. Not sure why this is happening and how to disable this tracker. Please help

Any good extensions for hiding the tab/navigation bar? I got an OLED and it's advised to auto-hide static elements they say. Edge can do this by going fullscreen and moving the cursor to the top. Anything like that for Brave?

Maybe there's a flag for the same feature as Edge? Or maybe a feature that can make the top area very dim or something. With the prevalence of OLEDs these days I was expecting to be able to search "OLED" in the chrome store and see something like this but to no avail. For all you extension makers out there this may be a potentially untapped space. Thanks.

How to customize the icon of brave shield?

I love almost everything of brave, except the icon of shield, which keeps distracting especially on dark theme and can't be hidden. I searched around and found some possibilities, but I wonder if there is easier way for customization ?

X / Twitter not working. Main page keeps refreshing?

Hi. A few days ago x/twitter stopped working for me. When I start the site, it constantly keeps refreshing and there's no way to log in. I have no problems with any other site, just this one.

Any tips?

Thanks

Does anyone else suddenly experience major stuttering in youtube videos?

I had to switch to firefox for viewing youtube because like a month or so ago brave suddenly started playing videos very poorly with lots of dropped frames and freezing. I did reinstall it, but that didn't change anything...
I waited this time thinking it would fix itself, but nope.

And this is not because of slow internet/computer.

Brave on Android Stops Accepting Input

I have a Pixel 8a that is up to date. Lately while using brave it will stop accepting input. I can continue to scroll pages but when I click a link nothing happens. If I switch to chrome the same webpage is fine. The only fix seems to be restarting Brave.

Is anyone else seeing this? I saw another thread about this but that seems to be on a PC.

Thanks.

Few questions from a new Brave user..

When I go to torrent, I get sent to a page that wants to download the whole torrent to my browser.. How can I adjust this to open up my uTorrent?

Also, what's the best ad blocker out there?

Tabs title bars white in ios dark mode

The title bars in the tab switcher stay white even when I have the browser theme set to dark. It’s pretty annoying and doesn’t look nice that these elements don’t respect the theme preference.

Is it only me that see this behavior? Anyone has any leads on open issues being worked upon for this? I tried searching online but couldn’t find any topics related to this.

Can't link uphold account

Apologies if this is asked a lot. I've been using Brave for years now, and have never had this issue. Everytime I open this window, it says I'm logged out. Of course, I click the "Log in to your uphold account" link, go to uphold and log in there. I see my balance, all is good. But then, my little window in brave still says I'm not logged in. I must be missing something obvious. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
