Stop using Brave Browser.
Seriously.

If someone recommends Brave to you, you should ignore them, because they are wrong. Brave Browser is a mess of a software project, and the company building it is even worse.
@zleap I already answered elsewhere in the thread.
For me, on Linux, I run Waterfox as my primary browser. This gets around Snap issues on Ubuntu, & it integrates better with the Unity desktop, as well as Xfce with the appmenu global menu bar.
On macOS & the rare occasions when I have to use Windows, I use Waterfox or vanilla Firefox.
Chrome is reserved for Google Apps, & I regularly try alternatives. None has quite hit the spot yet. Some are good but all have downsides.
