@deeppandya I reproduced this on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 on Android 12.

The text also seems to large. In the video below the top widget is Brave, bottom widget is Chrome.

As per the discussion on Slack re: the above, we'll keep pushing out 1.47.x but keep an eye on user reports via the support team. If we notice an influx of reports, we'll push the above via a HF. For now, we're going to get this into the 1.47.x maintenance release that's schedule for January 25 as per https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Brave-Release-Schedule#release-channel-dates.

The above requires 1.47.178 or higher for 1.47.x verification 👍

Looking forward to the 1/25 update. As someone who just bookmarks a site rather than downloading an intrusive app with the same functionality, this has made my homescreen look really silly!

Verified on Samsung Galaxy S21 using version:

Brave	1.47.181 Chromium: 109.0.5414.87 (Official Build) (64-bit) 
Revision	2dc18eb511c56e012081b4abc9e38c81c885f7d4-refs/branch-heads/5414@{#1241}
OS	Android 13; Build/TP1A.220624.014

Test Plan:

1. Install 1.47
2. Add bookmark widget to the home screen
3. Resize widget vertically to 1 column

• Verified resizing widget down to 1 column displays bookmark favicons correctly

Default	Vertical	Horizontal

Since 1.47 the size of icons is smaller, but they are not centered. It looks bad, but better than before. Beta version looks like it always was, the old good way.

Fixed with latest update. My homescreen us normal again.
