Something is stealing my DNS in Brave and I cannot for the life of me figure out what.
When I type in the URL in a normal window, the TLS cert fails because it doesn't match the domain. Brave alerts me to the problem and prevents it from happening, asking me to proceed.
When I type the URL in a private window, everything behaves normally.
I've disabled all extensions, cleared cache, cookies, history, etc. yet the problem remains.
Anything I can do in the developer tools to investigate?
