Hi, I couldn't reproduce (tested in private window mode) in Brave release. Unless there is something blocking doubleclick?

Umm I don't really understand what you mean by "blocking doubleclick". Could you clarify and is there anything I can do on my end to resolve this?

[ryanbr]

Suggesting if there was another program, application/or vpn or device blocking ads, also testing on another computer? or try Brave in private window mode. @lemonnuggets

Okay so it turns out that I had modified the hosts file at some point and forgot about it. Sorry and thanks for the patience.
