• Describe the issue you encountered:
  Brave presently doesn't fully support the chrome.tabs.update API. The following properties should be supported for Brave to be complete:

  • url supported
  • active bug?
  • highlighted bug?
  • selected bug? (deprecated, use highlighted)
  • pinned
  • muted
  • openerTabId
  • autoDiscardable

Testing these APIs can be done from about:extensions in Brave:

chrome.tabs.update(tabid, {url: 'https://brave.com'}, () => {
    chrome.runtime.lastError && console.log(chrome.runtime.lastError)
})

• Additional QA Steps:
  Finding a tabid can be done via the chrome.tabs.query method:

chrome.tabs.query({}, tabs => console.log(tabs))

• Platform (Win7, 8, 10? macOS? Linux distro?):
  Desktop

• Brave Version (revision SHA):
  0.13.4
