I have for some time had an issue where if I open two tabs at the same time and the PoW is expired, both tabs will (sensibly) try to solve it, but while the one to be done first succeeds, the other one will fail to submit the proof and display an error.

Yeah this is a known issue. The haproxy-protection maintainer fixed it by setting a value in browser local storage that other tabs monitor so they know to wait for the first tab to complete then auto-redirect once it's done. https://gitgud.io/fatchan/haproxy-protection/-/commit/a303689641a358b2a1b7afbc8ddfc398c57d772d

It's not super simple to update to this version though as the dude also changed all the paths so bot-check is under "basedflare" instead of /. Here's a really simple thing you can do to make it less tedious though:

Here's the URL you need to paste in for the bookmarklet
JavaScript: 
javascript:location.assign(location.href.replace("/bot-check?", ""));
Basically it's a button you can use to automate the process of removing bot-check from the URL.

Sneed on desktop works flawlessly for me but Android Brave gets stuck loading a page every so often, it usually works after clearing the cache but not every time, sometimes it just unfucks itself when i reload a page a couple of minutes later. This has been going on for about a week or so. Is this due to my shitty phone, bad internet or an issue with the site on mobile?

Huh, didn't know it was also fixed upstream.
I was also considering suggesting using localStorage for synchronization (like XF does for notifications), but it felt like it'd be a bigger bother to implement that so I went with the serverside fix (or janky workaround) instead. Either way, thanks for the bookmarklet!

Pretty sketchy connectivity.

In a similar vein, Sneed.today on Brave Android wouldn't let me post for several days because the textbox at the bottom of the page wouldn't load and was greyed out.

I recall seeing similar mentions of this error a few weeks ago.

Clearing my Brave cache finally let me back in.

Everything else seemed to remain functional: page loads, login, even quoting other posts ("Insert Quotes" function was visible and would pop-up like usual, but no textfield would ever load).

That website would be a lot more useful if it also supported IPv6. I don't know when it happened but it seems the mirror has IPv6 now and from my connection there's no loss whatsoever vs the minor packet loss on v4. My shitty VPN setup only does IPv4 though so I can't comment on whether it's noticeably better though in general the mirror is very good.

Awww, man, I gotta see if my ISP fixed v6... They broke it for a while and I disabled at home it instead of bitching at them.

Got IPv6 going through the tunnel and it really is the premium experience! I was wondering "How do you know whether it's working?" but you know straight away and I'll leave it at that.

Apparently the onion address is blocked by Brave now?

That error happens if you have "Private window with Tor" enabled but not "Automatically redirect .onion sites" and try to open the onion URL in a non "Private window with Tor" window. If you enable automatic redirection, it'll pop the .onion out in a new Tor window.

Brave's Tor UX is retarded.

Got the same problems on desktop Sneed (via Firefox) now as on mobile, feels a bit like when the site is getting DDOS'd. It's not that bad, though, if it gets worse i'll hop back on Tor.
 
Very minor issue, but the news feed page won’t load for me. I can go /whats-new/ but if I click the “Your News Feed” tab, it gets a 500 or a 504. The rest of the site is running great so I don’t think it’s on my end. I’m on the sneed site on mobile.
 
I changed my VPN endpoint from Europe to dirty stinky LA and the site is working well. I don't get 503s but I do sometimes get white pages.
 
Site is connecting on desktop but won't connect on mobile.

EDIT: Welp, guess this is kind of moot point now.
