I am having the same problem as well, any configuration is lost when dev-tools is closed and reopen, I don't even need to restart the browser for it to happen.

I noticed this when I added a new Custom Device for testing, and lost every time I reopen dev-tools.

Still not fixed on Brave "stable" 1.35.100

I tried version 1.35 now, to me it seems to work.

[JoaoHamerski]

@twopills It's really still bugged to me.

I just open devtools > settings > enable LogXMLHTTPRequest > close devtools > open it again > LogXMLHTTPRequest is disabled.

Also the changelog not mentioned anything about it.
