After chatting with @ryanbr suggested enabling Hardware acceleration. Since I did that the issue with the chat has not happened. In the past hardware acceleration was never enabled in any of the builds of Brave and they functioned fine wrt YouTube chat. Now one needs hardware acceleration enabled. Google Chrome on the same machine has no such issue with the YT chat when hardwae acceleration is DISABLED.
