New Session: Background Window Opens When Clicking External Link

Example video of the behaviour:

Description of the issue:
When opening external links, Brave opens a new window instead of a new tab if Brave is closed (not actively open). There is a specific setting for this in safari and chrome but not in brave.
I use alfred to search google and I want brave to open my search in a new tab and not a new window because I always have to view the window underneath.

How can this issue be reproduced? (note: Brave must be default browser, as it is for me)

  1. Make sure Brave is fully closed (CMD+Q the session in Mac before you try the steps)
  2. Open any link from any other app (i.e. Mail or Notes, etc) or try and search google with Alfred.

Expected result:
Link SHOULD in a new tab of my existing browsing session from where I left off.

What actually happens:
Link sometimes opens in a new tab and sometimes opens in a new window
