I'm having trouble accessing any website using Brave, Chrome, or Safari because they report that my clock is incorrect. I've confirmed that my time zone is set correctly and the time is accurate. I've also cleared my browser's cache and restarted my computer, but the issue persists. The error message I'm getting is: NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

If your system time is correct but you're still seeing that error, try disabling and then re-enabling your internet connection. Restarting the connection can often refresh any settings that might get stuck.
Make sure you've got the correct date set as well—not just the time. Sometimes the date can be off, causing these kinds of issues. It might also help to watch a tutorial video on YouTube that goes through setting the date and time on your Mac. I found one that might be useful.
It sounds like your computer’s time might not be syncing correctly with online time servers. Double-check that your Windows Time service (if you're using Windows) or the equivalent on Mac is running. It plays a critical role in SSL negotiation, which is why you're experiencing this error. Sometimes, even when the time looks right, it's worth turning on automatic time synchronization.
