I am using an old mid-2010 MacBook Pro (MacOS 10.12.6 Sierra) and an old Brave Browser (v1.41.100). Brave Browser Private Window.

Please test, using the Guest Profile or create an additional Brave Browser Profile.

Menu → More tools → Open Guest profile
Menu → More tools → Add new profile

If your issue is resolved with either of those other Profiles, then the Profile that you have been using, may have one or more settings that contribute to the cause of your issue.

Also, consider disabling extensions that you might have added.

An extension (aka add-on aka plug-in) does not have to have a same or similiar stated purpose, in order to cause a conflict.

I suggest that you disable all the extensions that you added, and then test each, one-at-a-time . . . meaning, no combinations.

Test combinations later, if you wish.

(My method for such testing, is to actually disable and remove all the extensions. Followed by testing, one-at-a-time.)
