@yrliou @bridiver going to remove this issue from 1.46.x due to reverting the above work via https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/15649. I’ll remove the QA Pass-macOS label as this will need to be rechecked again once the code/fix is remerged. Assuming we can re-use this issue 👍

It was reverted on master via https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/15597, revert to beta is still pending uplift (https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/15649), I think we need to reopen this issue and ping uplift team to merge the revert on beta. cc @cypt4
