I've noticed that when sharing a url from Brave using the share icon in the "three dots" menu, the selected app opens in Brave's window. This seems odd, and is inconsistent with the experience from the Chrome mobile app, and also even within Brave when you select text on a webpage and click "Share" from the context menu - where the selected app opens in a separate window.
Steps to reproduce
Browse to any webpage
Open the "three dots" menu
Click the share icon
Select an app from the share menu (e.g. WhatsApp)
Notice WhatsApp appears but in Brave's window (task), not in a separate window
Actual result
Selected app to share url to opens in Brave's window.
Expected result
App should open in a separate window.
