Thanks for the report @ricardosaracino! I reproduced the issue under both macOS 10.12.6 x64 and Ubuntu 17.04 x64 using the following build:

Brave: 0.18.32 rev: e94738d
Muon: 4.3.18
libchromiumcontent: 61.0.3163.71

I couldn't reproduce the issue with the latest release version of Brave:

Brave: 0.18.29 rev: 85f059d
Muon: 4.3.16
libchromiumcontent: 60.0.3112.113

I'm going to move this into the latest 0.18.x Hotfix 2 milestone as it's working under 0.18.29 but has regressed in the current preview releases. Users shouldn't be losing functionality that's currently working in the latest release. @bbondy @bsclifton, please let me know if you feel differently.

Cherry-picked to 4.3.x+61.0.3163.71 here:
brave/muon@856d3bc

It'll be in 4.3.20
