It should be a Python issue with Wayland, if you have a new version of Gnome installed, you should take a look at this post:

Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway

While it doesn’t directly concern Brave, otherwise you’ll have to find a way to disable Wayland and revert to the more reliable Xorg, it depends on what Linux distro you’re using. I think you are using a system with Ubuntu and Gnome latest version on an old computer or a Live System, but I’m not a fortune teller.
