Steps to reproduce

1. Launch Brave
2. Open, for example, www.wikipedia.org > Open any article
3. Use any link in the article to go forward
4. Now use Back gesture to return to the previous page > Observe

Actual result

1. Every time when trying to return to the previous page, Brave is closing instead.
2. Sometime Brave is crashing when using Back gesture.

I think this is not a C116 issue, because the same Brave build is working fine on Pixel 6 with Android 13.

Expected result

1. Back gesture must work as expected, a user must be able to return to the previous page
2. Brave must not crash when using Back gesture

Additional information

[kjozwiak]

The above requires 1.57.50 or higher for 1.57.x verification 👍

[kjozwiak]

@Uni-verse @vlad-hoff we'll also need to quickly verify the gesturing back/forward is also working on Android 13 and ensuring nothing obvious as regressed.

[hffvld]

Verified on Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 using version(s):

Device/OS: 
- Pixel 6 [oriole-user 13 TQ3A.230805.001 release-keys]
- Pixel 7 [panther_beta-user 14 UPB5.230623.005 release-keys]
Brave build: 1.57.50
Chromium: 116.0.5845.96 (Official Build) (64-bit) 
Revision: dd68ca599736ea1ec946e2e9def70f3c705895e1

Fresh install - PASS

STEPS:

1. Followed the steps from "Back gesture" on Android 14 is closing Brave, and Brave is crashing sometimes because of that #31939 (comment) with Android 14 device > Verify
2. Repeat these steps with Android 13 device > Verify that there is no regression occurred

ACTUAL RESULTS:

• Verified that using Back gesture while on NTP is collapsing Brave as expected
• Verified that using Back gesture is returning to the previous screen. This is working for the websites and Brave settings
• Verified that Brave is not crashing
