can't use gmail on 2 browsers
When I try to log in to my gmail accounts, I get a message that browser isn't secure. This happens in both Vivaldi and Brave. I can log in OK in Firefox. I've even tried using my secure mobile hotspot...

OP here. Well, I found a solution that works. I went o the app store and downloaded the Gmail app. Now I can use Gmail on Brave, and I'm a happy camper.
Note to responder who thought Edge and Brave are Firefox derivatives. No, they're both based on Chromium.
Glad you got something to work although another "App" had to be installed which bypasses your preferred browser (IE Brave) a 100% moot point.
As far as that "responder" goes, I think you may have mistook what I posted which went like this..

I believe Vivaldi is a Chromium derivative like MS Edge and Brave is a firefox derivative.. The problem is many websites go fishing for very specific minimum browser versions and often blocks or rejects browser versions that do not fall into the supported list.. In those case one may have to resort to faking out the website to believe it is dealing with a high enough version of Chrome, Edge, IE, FF..
To clarify my statement I should have split the two statements into separate sentences..
Vivaldi, MS Edge are Chromium derivative.
Brave is a FireFox derivative.
Now, if you read one of my last posts, you will also note that it might be possible to spoof what browser is being reported to the websites by changing the User Agent string.. But, it seems that changing that on Brave running on Android may or may not work or be easy to change.
But glad you solved your issue.
