Why is port 5001 used for by Brave Browser?

Hello,

Brave browser is using a bunch of ports including, but not limited to 443, 5353 (mdns), and 5001

m1:~   makroud sudo lsof -i -P | grep Brave | grep -Ev ":443|:5353"

Why is it using port 5001 ? This port is conflicting with another application of mine, how may I change it ?
