  Is there a reason I’m getting this message this morning while trying to compose a post? It’s not allowing me to save what I’ve written, I just get this message along the top in a pink bar. Thanks.

  Never mind; tried a different browser (chrome) and now it works — although in the past I’ve always used the previous browser (brave) with no issues.

  Thanks for posting this. I also ran into the same issue earlier today while using Brave V1.29.76
  

  The recommendation is to clear your browser cache and cookies and/or try with a different browser. So working with Chrome solved this for you. :)

  There is an open issue with the developers for this https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/issues/52209 but let me also flag your thread for Staff attention so they can add these instances to that report.

  @sjbraun: could you (in the Brave browser) visit this page and provide us with the link it generates for you under “Share this with your support team! Just send them the link below”?

  Thanks!

  Hi there,

  Brave is based on the code from the Chromium web browser, so that is why you are seeing that message.

  Thanks for the link. We added your issue to the Github report and will keep you updated once we receive them from the internal developers.

  Thanks again!

  It’s interesting that more users are having issues with this starting today.

  well, this is really annoying, here it is 2021, and I’m getting this message. I cleared my cache and cookies on Sarari, and I still got this message. Finally I switched to Firefox, and it seems to be working fine now.
