Error code: 159 for Google messages

Description of the issue:
When I try to use the Google messages website with Brave, it will load the page partially and temporarily (maybe 2 seconds), and then the page will switch to showing an “Aw, Snap…” message with error code 159. This only started happening recently (I was able to use Google messages just fine with Brave before).

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Go to https://messages.google.com/web/
  2. Sign into your Google account and try to pair with your phone
  3. Observe error one your messages start to load

Expected result:
I’m able to use https://messages.google.com/web/ just fine via Brave.

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.75.180 Chromium: 133.0.6943.126 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Information:
I’ve tried the following:

  • Clearing my browser cache
  • Logging out and back into Google account
  • Restarting computer
  • Updating Brave version

I’ve confirmed this doesn’t happen with Chromium though version:
Version 132.0.6834.110 (Official Build, ungoogled-chromium) openmandriva 25.90 (64-bit)

I am able to reproduce this behavior.

Did you ever find a solution to this?

Can confirm I experienced this bug today.
