Cannot get to gmail log-in


going to “gmail.com” takes me instead to “https://accounts.google.com/b/0/AddMailService
How can this issue be reproduced?
any attempt to connect to gmail from my Brave browser in a normal window

  1. Can access fine in other browsers
  2. Can access via private window

Expected result:
Not sure what this question means but here’s background. Some time back my late wife tried several times to add me to her gmail network. We could never make it work. Ever since, any attempt to go to to the usual log-in in a normal Brave window has taken me instead to the page headed " Add Gmail to your Google Account" with no ability to get to a proper log-in page.

Brave Version( check About Brave):

Version 1.76.73 Chromium: 134.0.6998.45
