@QuackyQuacky1 @BrendanEich @brave It's a good idea. I filed https://t.co/lZzVnsgaBg for this.

[François Marier @fmarier]

@BrendanEich @QuackyQuacky1 @brave So you'd want something like what Firefox has?

[François Marier @fmarier]

@short_straw @BrendanEich Instead, you have to go into `brave://downloads` and use the "..." button there:

@short_straw @BrendanEich For some Safe Browsing verdicts, you can't bypass directly from the download drop down:

@BrendanEich @aes43097484 @brave @_brianclifton The only BSD "port" I know of is this one we link to here: https://t.co/YtnlcMO3AZ

[François Marier @fmarier]

@yoerichofficial @BrendanEich @brave It's now listed on our installation page with the caveat that it's based on an outdated version of Ubuntu: https://t.co/zwnTm5kmGt

@zaneschepke @BrendanEich @hjanuschka @brave @_brianclifton @dhh We do fall back to the basic storage backend if gnome-keyring and kwallet can't be found, but it means that cookies & passwords are stored in plaintext on disk, which isn't ideal of course.

[François Marier @fmarier]

@BrendanEich @igelblork @rebron There is a strong password generator in Brave gated behind a few prefs (https://t.co/olXOx6Y899), but it sounds like you're asking for it to be in the password manager (https://t.co/rASd1g8vXC)?

@BrendanEich @allenwalton @billychasen @tauseefferaz @brave @BraveSupport @arthuredelstein Not actually related to private windows it turns out. I've updated my repro steps.

I also discovered a work-around: https://t.co/cmB9zJn5ai

Does that work for others too?

[François Marier @fmarier]

@BrendanEich @allenwalton @billychasen @tauseefferaz @brave @BraveSupport @arthuredelstein I can reproduce reliably: https://t.co/6F08xlkIAs

So I don't think it has to do with the IP address.

[François Marier @fmarier]

@BrendanEich @StacheAutonomy @BraveSupport @BraveSampson Also have a look at https://t.co/tsDVhYIjoF, some users have reported that installing the xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk fixes the problem.

[François Marier @fmarier]

@shivan_kaul @gnukeith @privatpartiet @KarlEmilNikka @brave @PryvitKyle The highlighted string is wrong (we need to fix this). It comes from Chromium which also has client-side phishing detection. That's what's described in the highlighted sentence. We disable that part of Safe Browsing in Brave.

[François Marier @fmarier]

@BrendanEich @ja_wolski @burnedmind @DaddyWarpig @arthuredelstein I don't know what's going on with yandex, but on my first try, I got ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED too. Tried in Chrome and I ended up on a CAPTCHA. Firefox worked the first time. And now if I reload the page in Brave, it works fine (no CAPTCHA).

[François Marier @fmarier]

@AbbasAlly5 @BrendanEich @brave I assume it's the Search CAPTCHA? I've not seen that problem before. Are you able to share a screenshot of the CAPTCHA (there are multiple versions of it, all different) by any chance?

[François Marier @fmarier]

@mahesh_subham @BrendanEich @_brianclifton @brave @BraveSupport @shivan_kaul We do support that. For example, you can add https://t.co/kbUU0c6LZz as a custom filter on brave://settings/shields/filters

[François Marier @fmarier]

@BrendanEich @mahesh_subham @_brianclifton @brave @BraveSupport @shivan_kaul See https://t.co/SBF8hqMNzA and https://t.co/WeKSSTNhIn for how we decide where to remove specific parameters.

[François Marier @fmarier]

@BrendanEich @mahesh_subham @brave @BraveSupport What we're looking into is to allow Sync users to optionally linking their Sync data to an email address + password, preserving E2E encryption:
- remember your password => you can recover, even if you've lost all your devices
- lose your password and devices => out of luck

[François Marier @fmarier]

@BrendanEich @mahesh_subham @brave @BraveSupport Recovery is tricky when you're dealing with end-to-end encryption. We don't want to ever be in a position to be able to read your Sync data.

[François Marier @fmarier]

@sashimiSub220 @BrendanEich @brave I'm not personally familiar with that, but I'll ask others at Brave. Have you looked at https://t.co/2ImnP1Wxln?

[François Marier @fmarier]

@BrendanEich @PulseChainLIVE @brave @shivan_kaul @PryvitKyle Interesting idea. Might be an good addition to SpeedReader.
