Description

With the recent update to v143.1.85.111, scrolling with touchpad feels more "adaptive": it speeds up with each subsequent motion — but scrolling with a single motion feels 10x slower (it scrolls like 3 lines of text from one edge of touchpad to the other). Other Chromium browsers and other utilities didn’t change their behavior, and my config didn’t change since the update of Brave.

Steps to reproduce

Open a tall webpage and scroll with touchpad’s 2-finger gesture.

Actual result

Scrolls 10x slower than before the update. Too slow to be a sensible default.

Expected result

Normal scroll speed, equivalent to other browsers, other software in general, and the previous version of Brave.
