Any Brave gurus here?

[intrepidity]

I mean, the browser Brave. Almost everyone on DU is a brave guru of some sort.

So, I am trying to clean up some settings, so I cleared the Brave cache from within my phone's settings.

Now I am in Brave settings, and under Site Settings, am individually deleting any permissions for random sites, and there are some that are just persistent! I have closed all windows/tabs.

Any ideas?? I try to clear cookies for that site and it just comes right back.

I know that uninstalling/reinstalling Brave would probably clear this up, but I do not want to lose Bookmarks, and last I checked, there is no way to export/import bookmarks on an Android phone.

1. This might help

I'm far from a guru but with Brave open, go to the three little dots on the bottom right corner of your phone. Choose bookmarks, then choose the three little dots on the top right corner of your phone. That allows you to either import or export your bookmarks, hope that helps.

2. And for what it's worth

I just tried it and the bookmarks file exported to the downloads folder in the Files app. This is all with the newest version of Android.

5. That *did* help!

Brave must have finally added that, I hadn't checked in awhile!

Thank you for making me try again!

In the meantime, I found this:

3. Apologies if you've already tried this

I'm using Brave on a desktop - may be variations.

Go to settings - either via menu or little cog wheel bottom right.
Chose Privacy and Security on the left
Scroll down about 5 sections to Clear Browsing Data

and then check your third party cookies settings.

4. Oh wait, the thing is, I don't want to lose *all* the data

Just for some sites.

6. Ah, OK

You may need to look for a cookie manager add-on so you can whitelist some sites with cookies and data you want to keep.

7. Well, Brave supposedly has this ability

But it does not seem to be working for me correctly at the moment.

Arrgh.
