@curiouspenguin,
Testing on my end using the Outlook app (Win10) – hyperlinks seem to open in Brave without issue. This is with a fresh install of Brave and (unintentionally) a fresh PC (just formatted).

Can you tell me if you’ve ever used/installed the old Brave build (Muon) on this machine you’re using? If so, you may need to completely uninstall and remove any/all lingering Muon files.

@Mattches,

Yes, I used Muon previously on my desktop. I followed your steps and managed to get the hyperlinks working! Thanks for your help!
