Does this work on Chrome? Also can you check if the issue reproduces on 1.14.83 which is the latest version?

On my tablet I have Brave1.14.87 with Chromium 85.0.4183.102. I also have the Chrome browser installed version 85.0.4183.101

Reproduce problem:
In Brave, go to ubuntuforum.org. Checking the three dots, the option to Desktop site is selected. Also, in the settings, site settings. the option for Desktop mode is on.

Now, I save the ubuntuforum . org I select the option to Add to home screen. This creates an icon on my desktop. I close out of all browsers. I select the ubuntuforum . org desktop icon and open Brave. It opens to the mobile layout not the desktop layout.

For what its worth, if I use the Chrome browser and go to ubuntuforum . org, select desktop mode and then Select Desktop site, then save select Add to home screen, close everything. If I select the chrome ubuntuborum . org icon it opens the site in desktop mode as it should
