Add a way to disable forward and Back for mouse button 4 and 5

Hi, thank you for making this awesome browser!

I would like to request a way to disable the Forward and Back functionalities on mouse buttons 4 and 5, as there is often no way to re-map these buttons for the average user, and being shunted forward and back when trying to use the buttons for any other application besides your browser is quite annoying.

Personally I encounter this problem whenever I play browser-based games on sites such as Roll20 while attempting to use mouse button 4/5 as my push-to-talk button on Discord, and i can imagine a million other scenarios where you might want to use these buttons for something while staying on the same webpage.

Thanks!

Personnaly I use the freeware ‘X Mouse Button Control’ to remap or disable mouse buttons.

Apologies for resurrecting this old post, but some way to disable these would be amazing, using an add-on that isn’t quite that good for it and it still goes back when I push mouse4.

Disabling the keys is not something I want to do because I use my mouse button to communicate in Discord/Teamspeak

What the f*ck Brave?
Why only your browser is overriding these buttons?
All other browsers work fine.
Fix this sh*t !!!
