Browser Default not working on MAC iOS upgrade to Big Sur 11.6.5

Description of the issue:
I’ve upgrade to MAC iOS Big Sur 11.6.5 and I can not set Brave as my default Browser

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

  • I’ve tried using the Brave settings to attempt to set Brave as default. I get the pop-up window to confirm changing from Safari to Brave, click Okay, but it does not work.

  • I’ve set my Browser default using Firefox on the new MAC iOS and it works using their settings.

  • I’ve shut-down & restarted my laptop numerous times with no change.

Expected result:
Brave set as default browser so that when I run a MAC “Spotlight” search the result options will show Brave as the browser that the results will be displayed with.

Reproduces how often:

  • Every time I try to set Brave as the default browser.

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):

  • MAC iOS Big Sur 11.6.5
  • Brave Version 1.36.117 Chromium: 99.0.4844.74 (Official Build) (x86_64)
