Description of the issue: The browser freezes whilst using Brave on VR, this is done in two ways.

Steps to Reproduce:

The first way:

  1. Exit Fullscreen while watching a video, could be on YouTube.

The second way:

  1. Scroll via hold and drag (although this one is rarer to occur from my experience).

Actual Result: Browser freezes, then browser loses audio shortly after and I am forced to kill process (this is for both ways).

Expected result: Either I exit Fullscreen with no issues or I scroll with no issues.

Reproduces how often: Chances are random.

Operating System and Brave Version:

Brave Version: 1.84.139

Windows 11 Version: 25H2

Meta Quest 2 via Steam Link (SteamVR 2.13)

Additional Information: I use OVR Toolkit (as of 13/11/2025, I am using the latest version of OVR Toolkit as they don’t show their version numbers :/) to display my desktop and Brave.

Does this happen on stock chromium/Chrome?

That is unknown sadly.

Is there a way to find out for you?

You could try to reproduce the bug on a Chromium browser, but you would need the equipment and software I used.

I don’t think that any of us have your fancy gear unfortunately :wink:. Nothing stopping me from asking if @Mattches has any potential solution for you - he’s the head of Browser support and should be able to help if possible.
