I don't recall seeing this earlier this week but I can definitely reproduce it now on MacOS.

I can reproduce on macOS with 0.19.80 as well... Seems like it only happens when you initially install Brave... Once you've experienced the issue for the first time, I can't seem to reproduce it after the initial hiccup. Removing cookies will reproduce the issue as well.

@srirambv are you seeing this happen every single time you launch Netflix? Or does it just happen initially?

@srirambv is this a duplicate of #11069 ? (which I believe is also a dupe of #11270)

Yes happens everytime for me.

Not exactly. I believe those issue happen all the time, Netflix issue happens only once. The second attempt onward works just fine.
