I had wondered why my new macbook had the age old issue of two finger scrolling causing me to hop backwards into my last page again. Looking at the closed forum threads, it appeared that disabling the feature was removed from brave and it was driving me bananas.
Anyway, I must have figured it out last time and again this time because I found the disabling feature in the macbooks preferences > trackpad > more gestures > disable/uncheck swipe between pages.
Leaving this hear for others who are confused/forgetful and looking for the solve.
