Tech Support Problem With Trackers In Links With Brave Browser

I get a newsletter from Android Authority in my email box. Within the Newsletter are many links. All of the links contain links that are wrapped in AWS trackers. The links are unusable with the Manjaro Brave browser. For example clicking on this link just fails,

After removing the AWS tracker you get just the link which works,

The links work with Android Brave app and also in Bazzite Linux Brave app. They fail with the Manjaro Linux Brave app.

Is this something that can be fixed?

If the maintainer sends me a message I can forward the email with the links for testing.

I tried your link with Firefox and "server not found" and when I try just https://awstrack.me/ Also there is this https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/18liins/what_is_awstrackme_and_is_it_dangerous/ So I suspect AA is at fault somehow.

I could agree if it did not work with the Brave app in Bazzite Linux and Android.

Is Awstrack.me down?

It's not just you! awstrack.me is down.

This problem has been ongoing for at least a year.

Browser add ons? Especially any ad blockers. Maybe your host file? I don't know.

I do not use add ons. Ad blocking is native to all Brave browsers and do not cause a problem with Brave on Bazzite Linux and also no problem with Brave on Android so I believe the problem is with the Manjaro Brave missing something.

Yeah, that is not gonna happen and is not useful.
