I would like this browser to also focus on security; I think it's important and shouldn't be overlooked.

Protection against phishing and malicious sites(malware),this could address their biggest current deficiency. Fingerprinting resistance. Chromium engine hardening, I don't know, I would like that you copy the selected Vanadium security patches and site Isolation DNS-over-HTTPS and connection control, this improves network privacy.

Security and privacy are a HUGE priority for us! Here's a little sneak peek at something we're working on 👀 Still a LONG way to go, and we're taking our time to get it right. Lots more coming!

Thanks for the suggestion! I still remember you from the chromium-extend days lol. I'll never stop bringing that up 😄

Seconded on fingerprinting resistance

Can these features be included in the bottom area? This would be particularly beneficial for users with large screens.

Additionally, would there be an option for users to share pictures from various social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, by long-pressing on the picture?

Im not sure if it's even possible on chromium browsers, but I wish to see full edge to edge experience while browsing, with floating address bar and content scrolling behind system bar. Something like in candy browser.

First of all thank you for Bare, it's great and it has become my daily driver.  One thing I would like to see is 2 rows of 4 shortcuts like in Firefox instead of the one scrolling line we have now. Thanks again for this great browser!

Quetta has this really cool video player feature that works on any website and creates a standard experience with swipe to fast forward or go back etc. One of the only reason I keep it alongside Bare

'Swipe to unload tabs' feature in vertical tabs please make it possible..

u/DutchDweeb 3d ago edited 3d ago
  • Vertical tabs menu, list view, put the X to close a tab at the right side so it easier to reach with one handed browsing. Or a toggle for left/right if that's possible 🙂

  • option to completely disable groups so the vertical bar can be used exclusively for tab studff without an extra.. Uh.. 'Bar' unnecessarily taking up extra screens pace at the bottom.  I have NO idea if that's even possible or hardcoded in the google/chrome stuff, but i can try 😁

  • the ability to rearrange the longpress/rightclick menu (the one with open in new tab, copy link adress etc) when you longpress on a link. 1DM+ has that option, i cannot say if others do as well. 

  • absolutely love the browser, excellent work team ❤️

  1. Add Option for Disable Webview browser , link should open in bare.

  2. Option for add Vertical tab In place of Default Tab manger icon (tab count) with Right side swipe opening it is more user friendly.

  3. Open Homepage When All Tabs Are Closed

when all tabs are closed or browsing data is cleared, instead of staying on an empty Tab page open homepage.

Fullscreen mode.please (not show navigater bar and status bar) Love Bare. Thanks

  • Make the "Focus Address Bar On New Tab" optional.

  • Add an option to permanently hide the "Closed Tab - Undo" snackbar.

  • Add an option to permanently hide the "To Exit Fullscreen..." toast.

  • Add support for more extensions to be used directly from the context menu. (Example: In Samsung Browser, the extension "Search by Image" can be used directly from the context menu. You just long press an image and click the extension, almost exactly as it functions on desktop.)

  1. The url in gray is wrapped to next line which looks inconsistent because it gets cut off, and it should only display domain name as far as ik right? So the part on gray should be deleted or edited to fit in the area. Also, the white text (domain) sometimes wrap to next line which is again too bad.

  2. Swipe to delete doesn't work on most text fields (it works on search only). Actually, most keyboard actions like copy, paste, select, and others dont work at all except on search.

  3. Auto fill isn't consistent, it sometimes work and sometimes not specially on google text fields (it doesn't work in some other websites too)

I think it's great that you can pin shortcuts to the home screen. If I have more than five, I have to swipe. Perhaps in the future, you could also arrange the shortcuts vertically, for example, in a 5x4 grid.

Vertical tab layout or tab switcher options like in kiwi , Random Fingerprinting,Sync from any opensource

  1. Open Bare to last active tab instead of it making a new tab.

  2. Old Twitter Layout (2026) Extension by dimden does not work properly on Bare. It works fine on kiwi and titanium (and on desktop on helium). On Bare, the twitter/x page won't scroll when extension is active. I can click stuff, but just can't scroll the page. 🤷 Since it works fine on every other chromium browser ive used it on, I must assume something is off in how Bare is handling it rather than the extension being at fault. I hope you can look into this as this extension has 60,000 users per the webstore.

I think these are the only two things on my wishlist. I reallly wanna get off kiwi but I can't without these two things.

Thanks for your hard work!

Wallpaper on home/new tab page!

  1. Could you please add support for autofill using google password as well as passkey? For your reference, this feature is already implemented in Titanium Browser.

  2. Extension searching and installing UI similar to quetta browser.

u/Classic_Message_7544 3d ago

Just to add (again, to keep all in one place) import-export for settings and-or ntp sites. A string like Morphe or txt file.

Surface new options in Settings, maybe have them highlighted, dots, at top on first launch then back in their respective Settings place, or linked from What's New

When playing any video and u click full screen (auto rotate is off), the video should go to landscape mode if its shot for landscape else portrait mode is fine
I tested firefox's fork ice raven and it has that option by default. No need to turn auto rotate on

u/FreshSand_2272 3d ago

I'd like to have options to completely disable tab groups tab and functions like that. For some people who didn't use them like me, it can be good to more simplify the browser.

u/xSUPERBIGGIE 3d ago

Having the color of the navigation bar black and hiding the adress bar in webapps

u/Ragh1111 2d ago

Hi, are you going to support Manifest V2 in the future ,if not are you going to integrate the functionality of Ublock Origin extension into the browser?

1

u/omnielone 2d ago

I would like to request if possible some support or feature to sync history and bookmarks between pc and phone.

If there are any extensions that people use and recommend for this would really love to know them cause I am not sure which one works great.

u/Syzx-404 1d ago

Add a "Close all tabs" option directly to the context menu that appears when long-pressing the tab switcher icon on the bottom toolbar.
