I’m trying to permanently disable a Dev Tools setting called “Enable CSS source maps”, but I have to do it every time I open a new tab or window. In other Chromium browsers, this setting persists.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Open a tab
  2. Open Dev Tools
  3. Go to dev tools setting (gear icon top right)
  4. In Preferences, uncheck “Enable CSS source maps”
  5. Open a new tab, repeat steps, and notice that “Enable CSS source maps” is again checked

Expected result:
The setting should persist in all new tabs and windows, just like in Chrome and Edge.

Brave Version:
Version 1.36.111 Chromium: 99.0.4844.51 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional information:
The preference “Allow scrolling past end of file” is also not persisting in new tabs or windows. Just like JS Source Maps, Enable Sync and Show Timestamps.
