Slightly off topic: Does anyone else have the problem of constantly being logged out of your Google accounts on Brave. I keep getting logged out even without closing the browser. I have tweeted to them but haven't been able to get a response. I am so annoyed with the experience that I stopped recommending it and am planning to switch back to Chrome.

Edit: I have multiple Google accounts signed into. And also, it does not block all ads in GMail which uBlock on Chrome is able to.

The way they’re handling cookies may be just be strict enough that it can break security measures on some sites. Unfortunately, lots of websites have come to rely on things that maybe should’ve never been features (like third party cookies, for example.)

Just out of curiosity, have you tried Firefox? I know it’s not perfect, but with minimal tweaking I think it’s very competitive.

Yes, Firefox is good for browsing but as a developer who has to work on the frontend, the ecosystem isn't there in Firefox. Many of the framework debugging tools for React, Redux, etc. don't work well in Firefox.

Show your tweaks.

Yeah, I can't log in to stack overflow with my personal Google account if brave has a Gmail cookie for my work Google account.

I get around it with a too-big hammer and run Qubes. Brave in my personal Qube knows nothing about brave in my work Qube.

There's probably a better way.

Wouldn't the profiles feature be good enough to isolate the two identities?
