I have set Brave as the default browser on Android. When links from other applications are configured to open in an external browser, the link initially opens to a white/blank and unresponsive page.
To open the page successfully, I have to:
- Go back to the previous application.
- Click the same link again.
- The link then opens correctly in Brave.
Screenshot – Blank/Unresponsive Page:
Observed Behavior:
I noticed that this issue occurs when “Close tabs on Exit” is disabled
When the setting is enabled, links from other applications open directly in Brave without any issue.
However, I generally prefer to keep this setting disabled, and having to enable it just to ensure that external links open correctly is inconvenient.

Please suggest a fix, or let me know if I am doing something wrong.
