Are you sure this isn't more to do with your device? I use Brave and the site loads fine.

@Brendonovich When changing Block fingerprinting from Aggressively block fingerprinting (default) to just block fingerprinting (as per your screenshot) - site renders correctly

[Brendonovich]

That does break things, but Block Fingerprinting seems to be the default for me (I've never changed it). Brave's settings do warn that aggressive blocking can break sites, but it would be nice to know why it breaks + if it's possible to fix.

Taking a look at console logs it seems like WebGL stuff is failing to load, perhaps we rely on some external scripts that are being blocked?

[McPizza0]

I dont remember changing mine either 🤔 First time I've had this kind of issue.

Agree it would be good to fix "just in case"

Also experience this, on LibreWolf (WebGL disabled by default):

This is most likely related to the recent changes made in #966. We should probably be doing some graceful error handling and just fall backing to the old background when WebGL is not available

[Brendonovich]

Apparently Brave blocks some WebGL features in aggressive blocking mode so that would make sense

[HeavenVolkoff]

Librewolf was fixed, but Brave still needs a bit more work as it doesn't actually disable WebGL, but most of the API returns invalid values on the Aggressively block fingerprinting mode
