My address bar does not update to chrome, but this may be in the same realm of brave:// urls. Let me know if this should be in its own issue.

I am on 0.60.47, not sure if this is similar enough to be part of this issue but this is what I notice when on brave://about. All the URLS highlighted show chrome at the bottom, but will click through to brave://<item>

Additionally pages such as brave://invalid show a chrome://invalid page.

and the tab shows:

@LaurenWags I think this has been fixed (_"Works for meâ„¢"_), can you confirm?
