If I do a brave search that brings up a wikipedia entry, the thumbnail image is missing. For example, try seraching brave for steve wozniak.

The thumbnail image is:

https://4get.ca/proxy?i=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2F6%2F6e%2FSteve_Wozniak_by_Gage_Skidmore_3_%2528cropped%2529.jpg%2F512px-Steve_Wozniak_by_Gage_Skidmore_3_%2528cropped%2529.jpg&s=cover

And the link is:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/Steve_Wozniak_by_Gage_Skidmore_3_%28cropped%29.jpg/512px-Steve_Wozniak_by_Gage_Skidmore_3_%28cropped%29.jpg

Going to the link gives a wikimedia.org error:

Use thumbnail sizes listed on https://w.wiki/GHai

If I change the 512px in either of those links to one of the allowed sizes listed, 500, 330, 250 -- the image is displayed.

It seems, without any changes, a few days later now, it's OK.

The link being returned now is:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/Steve_Wozniak_by_Gage_Skidmore_3_%28cropped%29.jpg/250px-Steve_Wozniak_by_Gage_Skidmore_3_%28cropped%29.jpg

(250px instead of 512px)

It must have been something within the search results that changed. Anyway, sorry to bother you. I'll close this.
