Brave version (brave://version info)

Version/Channel Information:

• Can you reproduce this issue with the current release? Yes

• Can you reproduce this issue with the beta channel? (unable to test at the moment, but I assume Yes)

• Can you reproduce this issue with the dev channel? (unable to test at the moment, but I assume Yes)

• Can you reproduce this issue with the nightly channel? (unable to test at the moment, but I assume Yes)

Other Additional Information:

• Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Shields? No

• Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Rewards? No

• Is the issue reproducible on the latest version of Chrome? Yes

Miscellaneous Information:

I know that all chrome URLs can be accessed by the brave keyword instead, but seeing chrome:// everywhere makes it feel like I am using the Google Chrome browser, rather Brave.

Is it possible to change this?

I also noticed that all URLs in brave://about are listed as chrome instead, including the page title. I guess this should be changed too? I can raise a separate issue for this if need be.

Not able to reproduce this. When opening a new tab, I'm seeing Untitled show quickly before

Are you still seeing this @krynv?
