I figured out what the problem was in my case; I’d installed Brave (Chromium) without uninstalling the prior version (Muon). I noticed because when I tried to set Brave as my default browser, it was opening the older version. I uninstalled that, and did some registry hacks where it was pointing to the older version, and it started to work.
