Description

@LaurenWags

As per process, QA runs through the following cases to ensure that the major chromium bump that's about to get merged into master doesn't regress the Nightly channel. Once the major chromium bump is merged into master, QA will run through a full manual pass on Windows & Android.

Startup & Components

  • Verify that Brave is only contacting *.brave.com endpoints on first launch using either Charles Proxy, Fiddler, Wireshark or LittleSnitch (or a similar application)
    • Verify that opening a NTP doesn't trigger any outbound connections related to widgets without user interaction
  • Remove the following component folders and ensure that they're being re-downloaded after restarting the browser:
    • afalakplffnnnlkncjhbmahjfjhmlkal: AutoplayWhitelist.dat, ExtensionWhitelist.dat, ReferrerWhitelist.json and Greaselion.json
    • CertificateRevocation
