I've been using the Brave browser for a while, and I've noticed a weird issue: whenever I close and reopen it, I get logged out of YouTube and Gmail, but I still stay signed in on other sites. This morning, I turned on my PC to find that I was logged out of all my accounts, which is concerning because the last time that happened, it was due to a cookie stealer. I haven't installed anything suspicious, and I'm still logged into Gmail and other sites on Google Chrome, so I'm confused if I should be worried or if it's just a glitch. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on? Am I overreacting here?

It sounds like you might have some settings enabled in Brave that are causing this. Check your browser settings to see if you've accidentally set it to clear cookies when you exit. That could explain why you're getting logged out. If you're still logged into everything on Chrome, it’s likely not a malware issue, but double-check for any suspicious programs just to be safe!
I totally get your concern! Brave can sometimes be finicky with cookies and sessions, but if it’s just a recent issue, it may not mean trouble. Make sure your settings are as you want them and keep an eye on any suspicious activity in your accounts.
If you're really worried about malware, it’s a good idea to run a scan with an antivirus. You could also visit some malware removal guides online for tips on how to make sure your system is clean. But from what you've described, it seems more like a browser issue rather than a cookie stealer.
