Arrow Scrolling Issues in Brave Search Results

Description of the issue:

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.

  1. Search for anything using the Brave search engine. Pressing the down arrow on keyboard results in the web page jumping to the first search result, which gets a blue square around it. Continuing to press the down arrow jumps to each subsequent search result instead of smoothly scrolling down the page.

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
Bug Gif

Expected result:
Smooth scroll down the page when using arrow keys.

Reproduces how often:
Every time I attempt to scroll through search results.

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
[Version 1.71.118 Chromium: 130.0.6723.70 (Official Build) (64-bit)]

Huh. Probably @Mattches will know more.

I’m actually not sure why this is the case. It makes sense for me for users who are interested in it as an accessibility feature but I don’t think it should be the default behavior.

I’ve asked Search team to elaborate for me on the issue.

It looks like this is actually an intended change:
