The main reason I’m still using safari is for the reading list and reading view. I recommend adding these features.

You should make this post with request feature tag.
Edit: now it’s gone in new update but enabling side panel brings back a button(reading list) near extension group.
You can activate Reading List
via brave://flags
.
Type brave://flags/#read-later
in the address bar → change flag’s value to Enabled
→ relaunch Brave.

Thank you, it worked but after a few days it disappeared and when I checked again it’s still marked as enabled
Most likely because developers recently disabled the feature.

This feature got turned on by default on Desktop in cr93. We need to turn it bac… k off.

@rebron says "We need to disable Reading List for now, we need to make a modification to the bookmarks UI window, otherwise there’s no UX to actually use Reading List."
Enabling side panel flag works with it.
That’s good to know. So rather than Reading List
being in the toolbar, it can be viewed in the side panel if users have enabled brave://flags/#side-panel
?

## Description
Follow-up from #17573. We need to add the reading list back to the bookmarks bar. Feature was disabled since this would be a new feature for Brave users and there was no method to add items to the reading list via the bookmarks button.
Need a decision to have reading list enabled by default (shows folder in bookmarks bar by default), disabled by default and controlled via a setting to show in bookmarks bar, or disabled by default for all users but enable for people who are importing from Chrome and have used the feature.
## Design [Placeholder]/Expected result:
Placeholder example of what's in Chrome currently.

## Reproduces how often:
n/a
## Brave version (brave://version info)
Would have been first available in Brave 1.29.x but was disabled.
## Version/Channel Information:
- Can you reproduce this issue with the current release? n/a

## Other Additional Information:
- Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Shields? n/a
- Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Rewards? n/a
- Is the issue reproducible on the latest version of Chrome? n/a
## Miscellaneous Information:
Does this work for you? It doesn’t work for me. Enabling this flag has no effect whatsoever. I’ve enabled and disabled. I’ve reset to defaults, and then enabled again. No matter what I do, no reading list. Nothing in the tabs to add to a reading list. No reading list in settings/appearance.
How does it work with it? I now have a side panel, but still no reading list.

Your Side Panel doesn’t look like this?
I’ve been using it for a couple months with no issues. (The ‘Bookmarks’ part of this isn’t implemented yet as far as I can tell; but ‘Reading list’ should work.)
Nope. Nothing like that. Enabling the reading list gives me a side panel, but it’s basically the setting panel. Nothing like yours.
