It's probably the built in ad blocking feature because Chrome seems to have the same issue on that page when an Ad-Blocker is enabled.
It's not a priority for me and I'm more than happy to switch, I just figured I would mention it as a bug, that's all. thx!

Brave browser worked great until this challenge. I then had to switch to chrome

@splnlss thanks for the issue. Considering Brave is still in beta testing and isn't one of the more mature browsers like Chrome and Firefox, I'm not sure what we can do on our end. It probably isn't worth our efforts at this point to accommodate less mature browsers. But funny enough, it appears that Brave is based upon the Chromium browser. I'll leave this up to discussion of others.

I wonder if this might have something to do with adblockers limiting some tests from running correctly as I've seen in another recent issue. Doesn't brave have a very strict ad blocker?

@splnlss I'm excited about Brave but complying with it is a relatively low priority. About 75% of campers are using Chrome, and Brave isn't even in the top 10 at this point:

You're welcome to dive in and try to make our platform Brave-compatible. If Brave starts to take off, we might be able to allocate more resources toward this.
