Hi @warped onyx. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Yes, ChatGPT is supported in the Brave browser, particularly for login purposes on the ChatGPT Android app. If either Chrome or Brave is installed on your device, the app will use them for secure login. If neither is available, you may encounter login errors. OpenAI specifically recommends using Google Chrome as the default browser for the best experience, but Brave is also supported for login functionality on Android devices Google Chrome as the Default Browser for the ChatGPT Android App ChatGPT Android app - FAQ.
For general web access, you can use ChatGPT in any modern browser, including Brave, by visiting chatgpt.com.
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

Well that's kinda weird, because this is the response I got from ChatGPT. Care to comment @thorn comet ?
Yes, ChatGPT is generally supported in the Brave browser. However, some users have reported intermittent issues, such as pages failing to load, login problems, or errors during response generation.
Common Issues and Solutions
- Persistent Loading or Blank Pages: This can often be resolved by clearing the browser's local and session storage for ChatGPT
- Issues with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Some users have found that disabling 2FA temporarily allows them to log in successfully.
- Extension Conflicts: Certain browser extensions can interfere with ChatGPT's functionality. Try disabling extensions one by one to identify any that may be causing issues.
- Brave Shields: While Brave's privacy features are beneficial, they can sometimes block necessary scripts for ChatGPT. Try disabling Shields for chat.openai.com to see if that resolves the issue.
- Private Browsing Mode: Some users have reported that ChatGPT works correctly in Brave's private browsing mode, suggesting that cached data or extensions in the regular mode might be causing problems.
If you continue to experience issues, consider using ChatGPT in an alternative browser or Brave's private mode as a temporary workaround.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
Based on the knowledge sources provided, ChatGPT is supported in the Brave browser, especially for login on the ChatGPT Android app. OpenAI documentation states that the app attempts to log in with Chrome or Brave if they are installed, and recommends using Google Chrome as the default browser to resolve common login issues. If neither Chrome nor Brave is available, you may encounter login errors ChatGPT Android app - FAQ Google Chrome as the Default Browser for the ChatGPT Android App.
However, the knowledge sources do not mention specific troubleshooting steps or common issues unique to Brave, such as those listed in the response you received (e.g., Brave Shields, 2FA issues, or extension conflicts). If you are experiencing problems, general troubleshooting steps recommended by OpenAI include clearing your browser cache and cookies, disabling extensions, using incognito/private mode, and trying a different browser or device Troubleshooting ChatGPT Error Messages.
If issues persist, OpenAI suggests reaching out to their support team for further assistance. The knowledge sources do not provide detailed, Brave-specific troubleshooting beyond the above.

Well, I can't mention the links that ChatGPT provided, and I'm sure they're not in your database, but it seems there are several websites where Brave users document possible issues and possible solutions. So it's not a clear-cut yes or no situation. I'm just posting here for another Brave user here in Discord, @thorn comet - if he stops by to say Hi, tell him "The Captain sends his greetings!" Thanks.
