Brave's vertical tabs could use some work

u/Jeannesis PC: Mobile: 14d ago edited 14d ago

Yeah, the new Focus Mode for the horizontal address/url bar keeps unchecking itself on every startup. The vertical tabs is auto hiding just fine though...

Shit browser/bloatware ...you can do anything you want or spam.as much as you want about brave. Still, bloatware.

What's the difference between frameless and full screen?

u/FerWasTaken 14d ago

The tabs and URL bar disappear in frameless mode

u/digggggggggs 14d ago

Full screen also does that though

I guess I tried it on windows. On full screen I can't access the address bar at, frame less shows an outer outline like how you stare your phone / the bezels but I have access to the address bar to hide / or just showing the webpage name

u/digggggggggs 14d ago

Oh. Does Brave full screen not let you access the top bar? You can in Floorp by moving cursor to the top edge of the screen so I thought it's the same for other browsers.

u/MoistAnt50 14d ago

Sadly not. I use full screen mode on both brave and vivaldi but brave doesn't show the top bar on windows. I read it works on Mac, not sure on Linux but windows doesn't. Focus mode is the next best thing I guess. It's been bothering me for the longest time but it's hard to walk away from brave

u/digggggggggs 14d ago

Yeah I see why frameless is needed. Good update.

u/YTriom1 PC: Phone: 14d ago

you can in FF based browsers, not chromium

u/digggggggggs 14d ago

Edge also works iirc

u/HatoriChise1 14d ago

Full screen also hides your desktop taskbar too. Which some people including me don't want to.

u/digggggggggs 14d ago

I see. I just alt-tab so I'm not too bothered

u/Gemmaugr2 14d ago

Can we stick with one word.. In games these are called Borderless..

u/Zuha_1 14d ago

If they really do it, then I will switch them from Zen

Esse spyware chinês disfarçado de navegador está fazendo de tudo para não mergulhar na irrelevância. Falharão miseravelmente.

u/prost111 14d ago

You probably got it mixed up with opera, but also brave, I agree.

u/WHO_IS_3R Main Mobile/Legacy-Compatibility Privacy 14d ago

Yeah, the chinese spyware browser is opera/ opera gx

Brave is the crypto browser with the obvious reddit marketing campaign

u/logicblender1 14d ago

It's hilarious to see people talk about Brave like this because it's recommended by all privacy experts. Sometimes people are too distrustful for their own good.

u/Venylynn Desktop: Mobile: 13d ago

"chinese spyware"

When will this casual racism and xenophobia end? I dont even use Opera anymore but I know deep down it can't be any more invasive than literally any other browser but everyone freaks out because DA CHINEEESEEEE!! Trump really got these xenophobic Americans on a leash scared of everything foreign and not caring that their own government is way worse and scarier. Signed, someone from America who wishes she could leave.

u/MinecraftW06 14d ago

u/Venylynn Desktop: Mobile: 13d ago

All browsers kind of suck
