Some of Brave's Default Shields settings breaking extensions

Description

I realize that this may seem obvious since this was a common issue with the pre-installed extensions in Browser-Laptop but given that Brave-Core allows for all Extensions, this problem pops up much more often and supporting/advising users on how to address the issue is slightly problematic.

Examples: 1 - Evernote Web Clipper This extension installs without issue but breaks after attempting to sign-in to Evernote account. Sign-in is still registered/successful, but the extension cannot be used and you’re presented with the following error:

2 - Diigo Web Capture - Capture and Annotate This extension works very much in the same way as Evernote. Installs fine and even further, account sign-in works properly. However, when attempting to use the extension (for instance, clicking “Add a Bookmark”, the extension displays as seen here: The loading wheel in the top right spins infinitely. Selecting “save” closes the extension but does not actually save the content.

Both of these issues are resolved by changing Brave’s default Shields settings - specifically changing the Cookie Control option to Allow all cookies. Once switched, these extensions behave as expected.

This occurs on both Dev and Beta versions, with or without fresh install and with or without additional extensions installed.

Steps to Reproduce

(Covered above but will simplify)

1. Install Evernote Web Clipper extension
2. Sign into your Evernote account via extension or website
3. Attempt to use any function of Evernote Web Clipper

Actual result:

Function is not performed, alert message to make sure cookies are allowed is displayed.

Expected result:

Evernote function executes

Reproduces how often:

Always

Has this been fixed? It is not allowing me to use the Evernote Clipper Extension, saying I need to allow 3rd party cookies and even if I chose to allow all cookies in Braves settings nothing changes.
