The above will require 1.43.80 or higher for 1.43.x verification. Looks like we missed the Edge portion of the fix from https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/14559 when uplifting https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/14663. @spylogsster created https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/14741 which adds the Edge cases 👍
