@tapanmodh technically this should still be in the 1.39.x milestone as the original PR landed in 1.39.x and this wasn't uplifted yet. Once brave/brave-core#12931 is merged into 1.38.x, the release team will move the issue into the correct milestone, in this case, 1.38.x.

brave/brave-core#12817 was verified on Nightly as per brave/brave-core#12817 (comment) and uplifted via brave/brave-core#12931.

Above requires 1.38.86 or higher for 1.38.x verification.

Verified using 1.38.99, Chromium 100.0.4896.127
