StoryTribe in Brave
The canvas won't load or stays blank in Brave. Brave Shields block the canvas technology the editor uses; turn Shields off for storytribe.com and reload.
Last updated Aug 29, 2026
Symptom
In the Brave browser the editor opens but the canvas doesn't draw, characters and images don't appear, or the page misbehaves in ways it doesn't in other browsers. A Notice for Brave Users button sits at the bottom left of the editor.
Cause
Brave's Shields, its built-in privacy protection, block the canvas technology StoryTribe's editor relies on. The app detects Brave and shows the notice; nothing is wrong with your account or project.
Fix
- In Brave, open storytribe.com.
- Click the Brave Shield icon at the right end of the address bar.
- Toggle Shields off for this site. Brave remembers the choice for storytribe.com only; other sites keep their protection.
- Reload the page. The canvas should draw normally.
If it still doesn't work
Check that no other extension is blocking scripts or canvas access on the site, then try the same project in Chrome. If it works there, send support the Brave version you're on.
