Stop Web Refresh When Bluetooth Keyboard is Connected?

Description of the issue:
The current webpage refreshes everytime my bluetooth keyboard connects or disconnects.

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary):
Connect to a bluetooth keyboard while on a webpage.

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
The webpage refreshes.

Expected result:
I guess it’s not really a bug? I read somewhere else that this is due to the app detected a configuration change and thus reloading itself. However it’s pretty annoying for a frequent android tablet+keyboard user. Is there any way to disable this behavior?

Reproduces how often:
Every time a bluetooth keyboard is connected/disconnected.

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
Brave 1.29.81, Android 11

Additional Information:
Samsgun Galaxy Tab S7+. This happens in normal mode and Dex mode. My bluetooth keyboard has auto-sleep feature, so it often disconnects when I’m watching videos. For example when I try to watch a lecture and if I want to search something during the lecture, my keyboard will reconnect and force a refresh on the lecture video I’m watching, and I would have to remember the timestamp before the refresh so I can go back and continue watching.

Is there any way to disable the webpage reload behavior in Brave?
