Description
Description
There is the setting to automaticaly open the DevTools with new windows/tabs:
This setting is ignored, new windows/tabs always open without the devtools open, so ther is impossible to capture the initial communication after the popups of the applications occur even as the new tab or as a new window. The problem is in all public or private windows/tabs
Steps to reproduce
- enable the setting "Auto open DevTools for popups" (see the uploaded picture)
- open any tab or new window or let any application do the popup
- the new opened window/tab has not the DevTools active
Actual result
New tab/window has not the dev popup active
Expected result
The DevTools should be active in every new window/tab which is opened

Miscellaneous information
I did not test the restart of Brave after activation, since it has not meaning. It has to work always immediatelly - after the given option is clicked on, DevTools should start for every new tab/window, after the checkbox is unchecked, DevTools should not be started for new windows/tabs.
