--window-position and --window-size command line switches not supported

[derekantrican]

Description

Chrome has the following command line options: https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches . The two I am looking at in particular: --window-position=x,y and --window-size=height,width are not supported by Brave

Steps to Reproduce

Run the following (using the Windows Run utility):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --window-position=50,50 --window-size=300,300

C:\Program Files (x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe --window-position=50,50 --window-size=300,300

Note how the first command controls the size and position of the browser window that is launched, but the second does not.

Expected result:

Brave browser should support these command line parameters

Reproduces how often:

Every time

Need to verify if this is reproducible on Chrome.

Works as expected on Chrome (at least from my testing). As long as all chrome windows are closed first* then the command C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --window-position=50,50 --window-size=300,300 works as expected.

*I say "as long as all chrome windows are closed first because there is a known issue where chrome doesn't respect these arguments for the new window if there is already a Chrome window open https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=823991&q=window-position&colspec=ID%20Pri%20M%20Stars%20ReleaseBlock%20Component%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20OS%20Modified#makechanges

Looks like this is fixed; I ran command as stated in original (ok, slightly different! %PROGRAMFILES%\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe --window-position=50,50 --window-size=300,300) and it worked as expected

If I already had a window open then it doesn't work, which is captured with https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=823991
