Description of the issue:
Whenever I startup Brave on my phone I just get stuck on a black screen for sometimes over 20 minutes before it eventually loads. I started having this problem about a month ago at the beginning of July and I’ve just been using a different browser, but Brave is simply much better and I want to go back to it. I believe I’m having the same issue as in the Brave Community post titled "Brave App Almost Black Screen on iPhone" but I can’t figure out a fix from reading that post or any of the forums mentioned in that post. I have a 37 minute screen recording of how long it takes for Brave to startup but I can’t post attachments as a new user.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Expected result:
I open Brave and it starts up and loads in a second or two, not 20 minutes.
Brave Version( check About Brave):

Mobile Device details

Additional Information:
I’m not doing anything crazy with a bunch of tabs either. I typically only have 2-6 tabs open. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Brave multiple times with no avail, as well as going into settings on my phone and resetting everything to default.
