As a last resort, I closed down my dozens of windows and dozens of tabs and rebooted.

Problem cleared. But why?

@bwims did you have a Brave update pending? I believe there are circumstances which require you to exit/relaunch in order to pick up. That would be my guess. If that wasn't the problem, then my guess would be a lock (or similar) where the cookies are being written/read from?

Whatever the case, glad it's resolved - and thanks for the update 😄
