I have a galaxy tab A and also see this. For me, all I have to do is play a youtube video and switch to fullscreen and then back. After that, the whole tab bar freezes and I have to force quit brave to fix it.

I’ve had this happen several times as well. Force closing Brave fixes it briefly. In fact it happened while typing this comment.

Indeed freezes happens after video is played in full screen. I updated description.

I have had the same issue with tabs not closing since the widgets update. In addition, pop-over ads/accept cookies notifications are affected sometimes as well. Forced closure of the app does fix the issue for a short time. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 with Android 6.0.1

I have the same problem on my Samsung tablet. Android 10, SM-T500

This is fixed in version 1.19.86
