Page refresh after zoom in

Every time I zoom in on a photo while using the browser the page automatically refreshes.

I could be way down on the “endless page” of items/products and if I zoom in, rather than clicking/opening in a new tab, it’s an immediate page refresh and I’m back at the very top.

This happens on nearly all websites that are not basic in function and purpose.

Can you please fill out the template you discarded when making the post? You also tagged nothing, so we don’t know if this is a desktop, mobile phone, Mac or PC, iPhone or Android.

Also don’t even know what Brave version.

The reason we need this, is because as is I cannot replicate this right now on my end whatsoever on any website. This is on YouTube, here, other media heavy sites, not “basic”.

Happens to me as well,

If you want the specifics, happens at reddit.com, my device is iPhone 17, running iOS 26.1, Brave Version 1.87 (192), Setup: iPhone, iOS 26.1, Brave 1.87
Just scrolling (without clicking anything)
occasionally zooming in with two fingers to see images cleary, then zooming out - then poof! the sites refreshing.. I disabled pull to refresh and still happens. Fastest way to replicate: open reddit, zoom with two fingers unti max zoom (feel vibration when it does), then wait a second, then zoom out with two fingers until page is back to normal. (then it refreshes…)

This is kinda expected issue on web, but i never experienced it yet, or at least i dont remember to, i dont think theres much you can do to fix it, but on Android or Windows its very unlikely to happen.
