Scroll speed on ubuntu is ridiculous

Description of the issue:

Install Brave on ubuntu laptop and try and scroll - it’s insane.

I searched on this - see Additional Information below.

There is no Chrome Web Store extension called “Linux Scroll Speed Fix”

I don’t want to switch away from Wayland - that’s recommended for modern machines.

It’s only Brave that has this problem. Firefox and system are fine.

This is REALLY disappointing. I want to use Brave but this is horrible, and unless it’s fixed I can’t.

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.

See above - just scroll in Brave on ubnuntu

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):

Expected result:

Reproduces how often:

100%

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):

Brave 1.89.143 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Chromium: 147.0.7727.117
