currently brave version is
Version 1.46.153 Chromium: 108.0.5359.128 (Official Build) (64-bit)

while your post said you using version
Version 1.46.133 Chromium: 108.0.5359.71 (Official Build) (64-bit)

so does update fix the issue by the way i think the most updated version you will get for nix would be 1.46.144 based on that link

github.com

NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/327790ade72ddb53c1824dff9bd47bce33ccb4cc/pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/brave/default.nix#L93


      
          
          
  enableFeatures = optionals enableVideoAcceleration [ "VaapiVideoDecoder" "VaapiVideoEncoder" ]
              ++ optional enableVulkan "Vulkan";
          
          
    # The feature disable is needed for VAAPI to work correctly: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/20935
            disableFeatures = optional enableVideoAcceleration "UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder";
          in
          
          
stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
            pname = "brave";
            version = "1.46.144";
          
          
  src = fetchurl {
              url = "https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/download/v${version}/brave-browser_${version}_amd64.deb";
              sha256 = "sha256-RivuyMPrqBXeTENrH4wApqHglPAZHVXMd863Wlh+EHY=";
            };
          
          
  dontConfigure = true;
            dontBuild = true;
            dontPatchELF = true;
            doInstallCheck = true;

and i see they use the deb package from brave repository

            disableFeatures = optional enableVideoAcceleration "UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder";
          in
          
          
stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
            pname = "brave";
            version = "1.46.144";
          
          
  src = fetchurl {
              url = "https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/download/v${version}/brave-browser_${version}_amd64.deb";
              sha256 = "sha256-RivuyMPrqBXeTENrH4wApqHglPAZHVXMd863Wlh+EHY=";
            };
          
          
  dontConfigure = true;
            dontBuild = true;
            dontPatchELF = true;
            doInstallCheck = true;
          
          
  nativeBuildInputs = [
              dpkg

so till the linux team replay if you interested to debug it you can run brave in debug mode and check the log maybe it help

this for mac but and for chrome but you at least know the correct flag you want
