Hello Community
I miss the function ‘tap to search’.
Is there a trick to reactivate it, or was it removed intentionally?
The option ‘tap to search’ list in the latest version is missing
How can this issue be reproduced?

@phlex23 it seems I’m still able to “tap to search”(?)
Hello eljuno,
thanks for your reply.
Yes, the function works as usual.
But there is a second search function that only works if you use google as a search engine.

Clicking on a word or phrase opens a panel at the bottom of the page.
In the previous version of brave it still worked.
I find this feature very useful and would hate to live without it. At least it would be great to know why this search option has been removed

Ah got it, @phlex23. Thanks for the confirmation. It seems the option is removed from Brave – likely because it’s sent data to Google(?).

A quick feedback. After a new installation the function is back. but without an entry in the settings. maybe it is a bug after all.
