So doing the same thing but in completely opposite ways! I'm note sure
exactly what Brave does. In Settings it has:
Open external links in Brave:
Opens links from other apps in a Brave webview. Note: Brave must be set
as your default browser.
That setting was set to Off (default). Brave isn't my default browser
anyway.

 Note that you can change the settings the other way around too - if you go
Settings -> Apps -> BBC News -> Open by default

I couldn't see an "Open by default" in my general Android settings or the browser settings. Which did you mean (and which version of Android? Mine's 13).

there's a toggle of 'open supported links' and then a list of links it'll
open (there might be things like *.bbc.co.uk and *.bbc.com in there).  If
you unset the 'open supported' toggle or edit the list you can stop it
detecting links to open.

I didn't see anything like that, but I could have missed it.

That means you can re-enable 'open links in apps' on your browser and it'll
still be able to open links in other apps if you want them to do that.
