New page load hesitation

Description of the issue:
Delayed initializing of new page being loaded in a new tab.
Existing pages and sites in current tabs seem to work fine.

Upon trying to access any website as a new tab (google.com, bbc.com, espn.com) the initial response is delayed or hesitates. Refreshing existing tabs does not exhibit this issue. If the tab is closed, requesting the same page in a new tab the hesitation returns.

This does not happen on Chrome for Android.

How can this issue be reproduced?
This started when I updated to a new version of Brave on my Android phone.

Expected result:
No initial hesitation should be observed.

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Brave 1.78.96, Chromium 136.0.7103.60

Mobile Device details
Samsung Galaxy S10 / Android 12

Additional Information:

As another poster @psykken mentioned, updating to 1.78.99 seems to have corrected this loading delay.

@nmxb8 thanks for confirming.
