Strangely enough, using the old Reddit (e.g.,, ) does seem to help the browser get over its obsession with u/thinsoldier (here it is correctly identifying u/Brave_Support):īut it doesn't fix the other problem I'm having - here it is correctly identifying the fact I'm a Brave Verified Creator, but wrongly referring to me as "mikeleewrites on Reddit" again:

I've tried clearing my history and cache, quitting and re-launching Brave, and rebooting (because why the heck not), but nothing has made a difference. Yeah, sorry if you have to read this three or four times to make sense of it. I've claimed that Twitter account on my Brave Rewards Creator profile, so I can only imagine that's where Brave browser is somehow "finding" the "mikeleewrites" (with a small "m") username?

HOWEVER: My Twitter username is (with a small "m"). I only have one Reddit account, and it's always been u/meejle. Strangely enough, there is a u/Mikeleewrites (with a capital "M") on Reddit, but he isn't me. Also notice how it then shows a snippet of "thinsoldier's post" underneath:Īnd weirder still: if I go to my own Reddit user page (I'm u/meejle - remember that, it'll be important in a second) and click one of the inline "Tip" buttons. Trying to tip on one of u/Brave_Support's comments, shows "thinsoldier on Reddit", but then correctly displays the username underneath as "u/Brave_Support". Here's a screenshot of it happening on u/Brave_Support's profile page ( ):Ĭlicking "Send a Tip." also shows u/thinsoldier as the recipient of the tip:īut wait, it gets even weirder! Clicking the inline "Tip" buttons on Reddit seems to confuse things even more. It doesn't matter whose profile page I visit, if I click the Brave Rewards icon (in the address bar), it shows "thinsoldier on Reddit".


I also submitted custom banners for each site/social media profile. I signed up to Brave Rewards Creator and claimed my Reddit account (among other social media accounts and websites that I own).
